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.

9:11 AP.  That's what I call recovery. Actually, it's called 4:30 am with insufficient coffee.  I ran early today because we are supposed to get all tornadic by early evening.  I'm posting my splits so you can see my awesome opening mile.  10:27, 9:55, 9:46, 9:39, 9:20, 8:50, 7:53, .57 at 6:41 pace(have to get home quick or won't get a shower).

Hey it was a progressive run! Nice recovery, I know that feeling well.

From Tracy on Tue, May 24, 2011 at 11:47:42 from 173.24.38.54

Recovery pace is sometimes like that. I'm also always creaky in the early a.m. too.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! : DDDDDDD so wish you could run my 17 miler on Friday with me--- I so want to run it recovery like so I should start with an over 10 minute mile, they are so laid back and like wow, do I really run miles 4 minutes faster than this? it is amazing what a little adrenaline can do and how 4am sans caffeine in your case can be truly be in RECOVERY MODE. WAY TO GO!!!! HOPE NO TWISTERS COME BY YOU!!! praying for you all!! that is scary.

Those splits look pretty familiar to me! Stay safe.

That is quite the nice little progressive run there!!! I hope that the tornadic atmosphere is not so bad! That would freak me out!

I am STILL so excited about St George. YEAH!

Joe--I have determined that I need to do more of these types of recovery runs!

Tracy--did you get my private message?

Julie--not too bad this evening, the worst of it hit south and west of us. Looks like we escaped another one.

Flat--thanks, we are safe and sound

Kelli--I am super pumped to meet you!!!

From Tracy on Tue, May 24, 2011 at 21:46:12 from 173.24.38.54

Totally got it and just replied :)

Glad you guys didn't get hit by the worst of the weather. I was watching the news this morning and saw pictures of Joplin. So devastating...

Oh these tornadoes are horrid! I'm glad you are safe!

From Kelli on Wed, May 25, 2011 at 21:36:31 from 71.219.96.115

UH-OH, now Wednesday blog! Are you safe? That is some crazy weather your way!
