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.

Neck is still stiff but much much better, should be runnable.  Attempt at a stroller run coming soon.

8:00am  6 miles stroller 8:59 AP.  My legs are not sore after Sunday's tempo but they are definitely a little dead.  Vanessa felt heavy.  We stopped at Sonic afterward and she got her tater tots--it has been a while and she was very excited!  Maybe a few more this pm.....

7:00pm 5 miles in the balmy 75 degree air at 8:05.  Listened to tunes and totally enjoyed the run.  No more 4:30am runs until the marathon.  I will run when I can but not that early!  Sleep is more important than miles at this point.

it looks like we were running together again today!! : D ah the days when eating tater tots was eating tater tots minus guilt.

I hope your neck gets better soon. That's happened to me sometimes and it usually is fine in a couple of days.

Ouch on the neck. Happens to Danielle sometimes too. Glad you can still run and Vanessa still likes tots.

I agree about the sleep!! If you can stand the heat and can make it work, sleep in and run later!!

Your 20 miler was awesome, you are on track for a killer marathon. I am so excited to see how you do! I believe that is your marathon pace, you are super fast.

Hope the neck feels good!

Your daughter is lucky that BNS wasn't there. I would have "borrowed" a few tots from her. Sweet job! Anyone wanna push me in a stroller and buy me tots. That's the life!

I'm sure your body will appreciate no more 4.30am runs for a while!

Hope the taper goes well, I think you will do very well in the upcoming marathon. Your training has been good and very consistent, although you might think the 15K was a poor result I think you have to factor in tiredness. Plus you have done quite a few very good workouts with a lot of MP in, which is extremely encouraging.
