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

8:49 AP. Opening mile 10:35, closing mile 7:14. I went to church yesterday, came home, cleaned house, took a brief nap, worked all night, saw my daughter in ER, came home and tended to her and the other kids while spending a few semi-comatose hours on the couch fielding phone calls and making sure she could breathe, showered, doctor, pharmacy, home, kids, dinner, run. It was nice to run the first 2.9 with my husband! I get to sleep a whole 8 hours tonight. Heavenly. And, for what it's worth, no caffeine during this 36 hour slog.

Yikes, hope all is well now with Vanessa. You are excused for the 10:35!

Everytime I've had those long stretches without sleep they've been heavily-aided by caffeine (or dexedrine when flying). Very impressive!

LOVIN' the OPENING MILE!!! isn't it funny how you can run a slow opener and think "am I even a runner or am I even running?" and voila-- a 7:14 : D. I was totally worried on my warmup before Bryce with a 9:30 mile. A whole 3 minutes per mile faster 15 minutes later. YIKES. PAYS OFF for YOU and ME at least. Glad you get some sleep tonight.
