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.

downtown Y.  3.5 at 6:40 pace on the treddy and then I just couldn't hack the mill, jumped off and ran 39 laps on the indoor track(6.5 miles) with every other lap fast.  cooled down 2 easy on a different treadmill,  I could see myself running in some mirrors on the backstretch and it was not good to see.  not good at all!!

Rule #1 of running on indoor tracks: do not judge yourself by how you look in the mirror/reflections of windows. How you feel is all that matters.

I'm so excited to see how you and JulieC and other friends do at Boston this year. It's so hard to believe it's just around the corner for you!

39 laps for 6.5 sounds about as tedious as a treadmill. I'm impressed with your persistence. I'm looking forward to hearing about Boston too!
