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.

It was sunny today so I took Nick, Ian, and Vanessa to the track and roared 33 laps for an honest 8 miles at 7:26 average pace.  Whoops! Impromptu near-marathon pace tempo.  I figured the kids would get bored and make me cut it short so I was booking along to get in as many miles as I could but then they discovered the sand.  Ha!  Now the long jump pit is full of sandcastles and holes and roads and when I finished up the kids did NOT want to leave--they wanted to build more sand castles.  Off to work.

Who needs video games and TV when you have a sandpit?

I wonder what the long jump people thought!

LOL! You just annoyed the heck out of the track manager who has to rake that all down.

Good run, I did something similar today (slower and shorter of course).

My younger daughter digs in the pit during my oldest's soccer games. Keeps her occupied so I can watch.
