I'm married to TylerS (also on this blog) and work as a Mortgage Loan officer where I have been for almost 14 years now. I love my job and the people that I work with. I love being a mom and the inspiration I get from Running! Life is busy and entertaining, It's great!

So, three good things about today:

1. I Did NOT have a chocolate donut

2. I accomplished my visiting teaching for the month

3. I got to go running again with my husband for the week, wow am I lucky or what?

There were many other good things today, such as waking up to a beautiful day, had a good day at work today, getting past the 7 year anniversary of September 11th, and tonight Tyler had a ball game and so he took the two older boys with him and I got to have a solid hour and a half with my baby all to myself. Good day today!

So, tonight we had a girl from the ward (thanks Lexi) come and sit with the boys (who were all in bed asleep) so that we could go for a run. I have to take advantage of these last few and ever so precious days of recovery for Tyler. So we left our house at 9:00 and ran "the 5 mile square." This is the same coarse I did the other night in the rain, however much more enjoyable this time because there was a full moon so the road was more lit and there was no rain. I felt really good tonight and we managed to keep a good pace.

Avg Pace:  7:59 

I am on my 4th day solid of running this week and have plans to go tomorrow morning and then again on Saturday so Yes, I am prematurely going to pat myself on the back for going 6 straight days in a row of running for the FIRST TIME IN HISTORY!! I figure if I am going to be on this blog, I have to step it up a notch so I am trying. Now it's time for shower and sleep. Night~

Yeah Kellie! You are SMOKIN'. It really does feel good to go 6 days. PRetty soon you will be used to it and you wont even remember what it was like to not run 6. Your pace ROCKS!!! :D Have a great day!

Marion, you are too kind. I would love to get to that point of running and maybe even running more miles in a given day without it even phasing me, nice thought. Maybe I will just envision it in my head and make it seem like a reality!?!

Hope you have a great Friday!!

You'll get there :)

Hey I forgot to congratulate you on your GREATEST accomplishment- #2. Some time after I had my third child, housekeeping and Visiting Teaching died for me :( You have got a MAJOR leg up on me sister! Way to go! As for the donut- I am a plain raised glazed girl :) I will only eat the chocolate ones is there is nothing at all left :) You and I should not eat donuts together. Between the both of us, we'd lick the platter clean ;D

You are so seriously speedy! I, for the first time ever, had and avg pace for a normal run be under 8 just yesterday! You didn't even mention that being one of the great things for you, so you must be used to being so fast!
