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.

Wet run today!  Got there early and ran 5 on my own at 7:56 ap, then hooked in with the tribe and ran 10 at 9:14 ap, overall ap 8:46.  It was raining and we were all soaking wet but it wasn't terribly cold until we stopped moving.  It was a good run and it is always fun to have your pace vary a lot on a long run.  I felt free to eat my giant breakfast!  I have a few visits today and then an EMS shift overnight on the north side so it should be rowdy.  I am excited to work an EMS shift--it has been a few weeks!  If it's going to be crazy, be crazy in my area because I am in the mood for it!
