I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

Not all easy miles but I don't want to break it up. Ran 4 hill sprints in the middle. Ran with a new girl today. She is a little faster than me so I am super excited. She will push me and she just moved here from Utah too. She is considering signing up for LA. That would be fun to have someone to run with.

130.2 YEAH!!!! Still got 5 to go.

Good job Britta! I'm glad you have found another running partner.

Good for you eating good yesterday and having some success with the drop in weight! I swear I don't know where you skinny women think your gonna loose weight from, but yeah for you!

Hey Britta, Life is good. Amazing how some time can change things. Your miles are looking good. Are you signed up for the LA marathon?

From britta on Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 15:58:01 from 72.130.122.244

Yes I am signed up for LA. I signed up on Sun. night and then Mon. morning I was thinking I was crazy but now I am back to being excited about it again!

That will be so much fun. Congrats on the weight loss. It'll come off. I think us ladies get impatient with our weight loss because men can lose 10 pounds in 2 days and that much takes me a year. Keep at it, you are awesome.

yeah on the weight loss! yeah on the hilly run! yeah for signing up for the LA marathon and yeah for another new running friend!!! How do you find them, church? a rec. center? I think that is so awesome!!

I agree with Jon, you are so skinny already! But we all have a HAPPY WEIGHT and I know you will get back to yours soon. I have been binge eating for the last two days for some reason, I can not seem to get enough junk in my system and I do not know where it is coming from!

So, where did you find this new partner from??? That is great that you now have 2 people to run with! Is she a marathoner? Has she done any Utah ones? Cool, cool, cool. Life is getting good for you, I am so happy!

Did your house close yet?

From britta on Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 18:40:20 from 72.130.122.244

One friend is a high school friend of our Ped.'s nurse in Utah, the other is from church. They are both Marathoners. One is a tick faster than me and one a tick slower so I think I totally lucked out.

Yes, our house did close, there are strangers living in MY house now!

From Kelli on Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 18:41:42 from 71.219.87.34

It looked lived in when I passed today, so I was hoping it had all closed and all was well!

PERFECT that you found runner friends. That makes life easier, right????
