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.

5:30 am.  7:51 AP.  It was very rainy and sloshy, but the birds were singing and it was pretty pleasant.   My hamstrings are a bit tight and my legs seem heavy.  Hopefully I can get them all stretched out and feeling better today.  I signed up for the Psycho Wyco run Toto run 15 mile trail run on Saturday!  I am pretty excited.  It is supposed to be single track trail with lots of water crossings and 6,000 feet of elevation change.  Me and my husband are leaving at 4am Saturday to get there and then afterward are going to go on an anniversary date in Kansas City.  Can't wait!

pm:  treadmill, 5 easy 8:32 AP.  Hamstrings feel a little looser
