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

15.00

6:40 pace. Mom is out of town, so no way to run outside this weekend but still wanted a long run. I have a 2 hour time limit in kidzone at the Y, so I checked Vanessa in, bolted upstairs to the treddy, plugged in Pandora radio, and want for it. I don't know what got into me, but if felt easy and I had a pretty nice cruise watching close captioned tv and listening to my tunes. Hopefully it's not a fluke, and it's what SlowJoe would call an "improvement spurt". Half a gu and a few good chugs of water at mile 9.

U are in a totally different league then me for Boston. I changed my goal time to 3:10 to 3:15. Looks like u will easily get 2:55!

Woah! Nice spurt!!

We gotta sneak you into my corral at Boston somehow...or were you able to still use that 2:59 from STG?

Slowjoe--my 2:59 was too old, I had to use my 3:16 blow-up from October. I'm a little concerned about being caught in traffic that is moving to slow in my corral. Hopefully it's not too big of a factor.
