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

3.38

9:04 average pace. Very very easy with a few bursts of target race pace in which I was all over the place ranging from 6:48 to 7:45 pace. Haha I also varied the terrain between uphill, downhill, dirt, mud, and asphalt. "The Tribe" leaves together in a rental van tomorrow morning for the drive up--race doesn't start until 11:00. I am just going to relax and have fun and if the race comes to me and am ready to push it then so be it but if I get going and just want to get a hard workout that is fine too--no pressures.
