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
8.00

New weekly tradition began today....the 6:00 death workout. So basically I get on the treadmill and run 6:00 pace more or less until I can't stand it. Goal is to try to extend it half a mile each week, as well as extend the total distance at 6:00 pace. I warmed up 2 miles ez, then made it to 1.75 at 6:00 pace before bailing, but I'm kicking myself for not hanging on until 2. Jogged .5, then another mile at 6:00, jog, .25 at 6:00 pace. Hit the indoor track for 2 miles including 10 strides. So I made it 1.75 on the first shot with a total of 3 miles at 6.00 pace, so next weeks goal will be 2.25 with a total of 3.5 at 6:00 pace. Hit core and plyo with weights for 30 minutes afterward.

Glad to see you are all better!! I'm sure you'll make target next week since you'll have illness farther behind you.

I like your 6:00 idea. Might have to try that.

This is a good workout. Now, remember that the limit at a round pace is rarely a round number. And it is also not good to reach your utmost limit in workouts - that is what races are for.

Sasha--my goal is to remain within my limits in this workout, as in tax myself soundly and spend some time at an uncomfortable pace, but not go all the way to the well. With lifestyle leaving me on the treadmill more than I would like, this is a somewhat consistent weekly measuring stick, I am trying to always do it on the same treadmill at the Y too.
