Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

Exhausted. No watch on the dirt roads after 4 refreshing hours of sleep. Legs were dead until about mile 5.   Im a little down today.  16 year old in SRS custody. Davids Grandma...died.  Broke.  Nobody will buy the stupid house we cant afford.  Car...broken.  Computer...broken.  Basement leaking.  People...mean.  Im glad running is going good.  Me and David are going to do like the song and stay up talking all night, drinking cheap wine and smiling although we are close to tears.

I'm sorry you are in a rough patch. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Danielle and I both like that song and can relate to those kind of nights. Except the wine would come from a box, not a bottle. Really wish you the best.

I know it probably seems trivial to a lot of people, but sometimes when things suck, being a runner has some big advantages. At the very least, it gives you 60 minutes of clearing your head and letting off some steam.

Hang in there.

Sorry things are tough right now. Running does take the edge off of things just a little bit. Hang in there. Things will get better!

I am so sorry! Hang in there, it will get better. Sending good vibes your way!
