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.

Total Distance
8.00

Worked all night, came home and rolled into bed at 7, the roofers started at 8.  I tried to sleep anyway but Vanessa came into my room and wanted Mommy to get up at 10:30 so I did.  About 2:30 got out for my run, 104 degrees, heat index of 111, ran 5 at 8:49 pace then decided it was just too intense for a recovery run and then came in and ran 3 on the treadmill 8:45 pace.  Went to Tony's Badwater after party and it was pretty cool to see the buckle, hear the story, and check out the infamous heat box in the garage.  21st at Badwater!  We are proud of him!  Good times with friends and they had a bouncer for all the kids and they had a blast.  Now I'm going to bed.   Good night!

Wow, you love that heat punishment! Or love to hate it maybe. I think I'm pretty tough when I just walk to the car in that kind of heat!

Another amazing on in the high heat. These runs are starting to look familiar, you're not considering Badwater are you?

Ugh. Don't love the heat one bit--will never do Badwater! My choices these days with my schedule are run in the heat or run on the treadmill.

I think we swapped routines. Your runs are sounding QUITE familiar....and the lack of sleep...mixed with the heat.
