You are logging some great miles on the treadmill and the other stuff that you are doing! How do you do it? Do you run outside when the weather is good? Nice effort and welcome to the blog!

Thanks for your kind words. I usually hit the gym around 5:00 am so I can be done by the time the kids get up and going. I find I am a much happier mom and wife if I get my "me" time in!

I usually don't run outside in the winter--too cold and too much work to get ready! :)

Welcome to the blog, and I think the elementary school 5k count for something.

Of course the elementary school's 5k counts (so long you ran it)!~

I am also very impressed with your endurance...you look like superwoman to me. I am much happier if my me time doesn't include too much excercise...I like to run but try and read or sew or be lazy...you are awesome.

We also have 5 kids..and are in our 12th year of marriage.
