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.

Met Renae at the River bed and ran 6 miles into Newport Beach. She is great!!!!

I need some moral support so I am going to do something that I think is pretty brave and stupid. I am going to start posting my weight on my blog. I have been eating so bad since the move and I need to get myself back on track. I want to get back down to 125-127 so I need you all to keep an eye on me.

I am also going to post my food for the day on the following day. So don't let me give up. Okay?!

I need everyone's help to keep me honest!!!

 I am a little embarrased to post my weight because I have gained a few lbs. since SGM 08'.

131.6 lbs.  AM

I fell asleep while my husband was at the gym last night and I was out pretty good. I got woken up by him climbing through our 2nd story window. He had to break in. So funny this morning. Not so funny last night.

It is my babies b-day today he is 2!!! I am going to make a spongebob cake. Hopefully it turns out cute.

I need to do a 35 min tempo run today. Hopefully after the kids are in bed I will make it to the gym.

Weight 130.8

Need to drink more water today. I also snacked a little too much yesterday, I will pay more attention to that today.

They weren't all easy miles but I don't want to be that technical so I am not going to break them up.

I ran along the pier and boardwalk today. It was windy and rainy but still so many surfers. It is fun to watch them.

My weight looks really bad today but there is a perfectly good explanation as to why. Which I would rather not share. So I was not going to post the horrid # but I figured I better stay true to what I set out to do... and that was to post my weight each day. So here goes nothin..

133.8

PACE RUN with Renae down by the beach. It felt really good today. I was worried because I haven't done a pace run in a while but it almost felt easy.

132.6 Down from yesterday

Late AM-- 1 hour yoga and weights for lower body. My legs are dead!!!

Ran through Newport beach today with Renae. When Jon and I retire I am so doing it in Newport Beach. So Beautiful!!!!!!!!

I ate a fruit snack and a box of raisins during the run. It seemed to be plenty for that distance. I need to get a hydration belt. It won't be as easy to "plant" water the nights before. Although there are water fountains along the beach so that helps.

This is the furtherst I have run since SGM. I felt really good. Pace 9:03. The pace was very comfortable.

I still need to sign up for LA marathon.  

We ran past a guy preaching on the beach and he said "bless these runners". So funny!
