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.

7:33 AP.  Ran with Eddy on the dirt roads around my house, hit up some decent hills.  It was cold--25 degrees, but the wind was only 7mph which isn't even noticeable really so we didn't completely freeze.  My legs were tight and nothing was flowing so without the company it would have been miserable.  Gotta be thankful for my best running friend!  I didn't run yesterday.  My daughter had a 3am asthma attack, the worse ever, scared me so bad we called an ambulance because I didn't think she would make it to the ER in the car.  I am a paramedic and a nurse and don't scare easily--and I was terrified.  She wasn't moving air and her chest was silent and anyone in the medical field knows how ominous that is.  But, she is doing GREAT!  She turned around fast and today is running around as if she had never been sick.  Thank God for modern medicine and for protecting my little girl.

Oh look, I'm at the top of the mileage board. If Joe hurries and logs the 20 he is running today he can knock me off and stand on the mountain LOl!

Oh wow, I'm so glad she is ok! I can't imagine... Thank goodness she has a nurse for a mommy.

Nice run, nice pace. But you're right, I'm king of the mountain right now - mwahaha!

Scary stuff April. In my expert opinion, it was her burnt hand that triggered it.

That is scary. I would melt down at seeing any of my kids like that.
