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

10.00

Was supposed to be the 6:00 death workout today but I could tell in the first mile that I just didn't have it, my legs were just not responding. I decided to go ahead and do a workout, but I radically modified it.

2 mile warm up, 1 mile 6:00 pace, .5 recovery, 1 mile 5:56, .5 recovery, then 8 x 400 at 5:52 pace with 400 recovery, cooldown 2.25. Did 40 minutes upper body and core afterward.

Weight: 0.00

hey super girl!!! doesn't look too modified to me. It has only been two easy days since your killer tm workout!! :D super excited for you at Boston. For me...I lost that loving feeling. Goes in spurts...YES I can run well, NO I don't think I can, Yes go for it, NO run easy. YES and FINALLY I end with no. ha ha. so if I get to start before you ....then maybe we can finish at the same time ; D.

I'd say you did a workout my dear. Very very nice!

Sometimes you can convince yourself that you're going to modify your workout into something easier... but still get in a workout. Then it ends up being a better workout anyways. Nice work April.
