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.

If I was gonna run today, it was going to be early!  Good thing I went to bed at 9 and fell right sleep because my alarm at 3AM was EARLY!  Did 7 loops by the house at a pretty rapid pace just because it is creepy that early in the morning, then came home, kissed my husband good-bye as he headed off to work, and now I am blogging and eating a granola bar.  I'm going back to bed in a few minutes!
