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.

Total Distance

Tribal hills.  It was...humid.  1.37 mile warm up.  We did short hill charges up the steep part of the hill.  10 vomit-in-your-throat killer charges; in the neighborhood of 30 seconds each. No splits, we decided to run "pure".  Once we had gotten our stomachs and lungs back into their rightful places we ran a few to cool down.  I am a little tired from spending the morning in front of you tube learning the Jai Ho breakout dance done in the cafeteria at 'ol Miss.  Plans for a surprise breakout dance with my mom, sister, and cousins at a family function are in the works...

Any workout that puts vomit in your throat must have been a success.

Maybe you would like 400m running, vomiting and running/training for the 400m seem to go together!

speechless.

for CERTAIN, vomit in the throat runs are reasons I DO NOT LIKE RUNNING. YOU are amazing!! I am off to watch the video.

Ooo I hope you're designating someone to film the breakout dance so you can share it all with us too!
