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.

Race: River Run 10k (6.2 Miles) 00:41:33, Place overall: 5, Place in age division: 1

Total Distance

9.50

I signed up for this kinda last minute. I have yet to run a short race this year, and it was time to bust the rust from the 50 three weeks ago. I feel sorta like I dogged it, because I felt super strong the whole time and ran almost dead-even splits. I think with a little touch-up with leg speed the next month or two and I will be able to run a much faster 10k very soon. Not a bad start to the stummer. It was 92% humidity and quite toasty this morning, so that didn't help, but I don't think it hurt much either...heat is not bothering me as much this year. weird.

nice race, april. a 10k just three weeks out from a 50 miler -- that's a big range but your wheels are still there. and 92%! we're creeping up on 15% in utah. :)

Wonderful job. Just wonderful. :)

Nice race! I would probably have to do it in a wheelchair that close to a 50-miler. Great start to the summer.

Nice race April. I can't even really wrap my head around 92% humidity but I'm glad your getting used to it. :)
