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.

ez on the mill.  was supposed to do a tempo today but my legs were so heavy and dead I pushed the workout to tomorrow in hopes of getting more quality out of it.  I went and got some new shoes, and allowed a little video gait analysis.  Mistake!!  Any visions I have of being a somewhat graceful runner are shattered.  That is the ugliest, most horrific gait I have ever seen.  The shoe story guy, my teammate, was quite silent watching the video, and then handily tried to blame the accident as a possible culprit.  Anywho, one foot turns in and supinates, the other one turns out and overpronates, and I am all heelstrike.   Bah!  I don't care, it gets me from point A to point B and it is going to get me there faster than ever in October!  And I love my knew kicks, bright yellow Kinvaras.

I am sure it look worse to you than the rest of us!

WHAT race is in October?

Kinvaras...I assume you use them for training..? I just race in my K's and train in some with a little more cushion. I really like the feel of the K's so I may start training in them too.

I do the same thing....supinate/pronate. Hence different muscles on both legs are larger in areas....i m so unbalanced! Sorry about the fatigue. All the night shifts...so hard. I remember all too well.

I've eaten the dust of many an ugly running form. As long as it doesn't cause an issue I'd keep hammering away. Weight training can balance things out if something crops up.

Good call on taking it easy today April. No sense in forcing a workout when your feeling fatigued.

Yay for bright yellow kicks. :)
