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.

8:53 average pace.  Slept in, spent the morning hanging out with my children, then we all went to pizza hut buffet to eat.  Filled up on a big plate of salad but managed to find room for a piece of beef pizza, a piece of dessert pizza, and a cinnamon breadstick.  Then went home and put the kids down for a nap.  David mowed the lawn and I went and ran in the heat of day--91 degrees according to tv, 95 degrees according to the bank sign.  Carried a bottle of water with me and ran on soft dirt roads.  It will be easy miles on soft dirt roads until this PF in my right foot clears up.  It all started last Saturday when I did that 24 hour work/clinical stint well my foot didn't like being stood on that long.  I thought maybe it was the Mizuno shoes but then it would have started earlier.  I've had it before--cleared up pretty quick as long as a follow the rules--no concrete or asphalt, easy pace, and aleve every 12 hours for the first week or so.  Anyways its not bad--doesn't bother me on runs--only first thing in the morning or when I get up after having been sitting for a while.  Off to shower before the natives awaken.

HELLO good MILEAGE this week, you are up there!!! Hope you don't get tempted to wear those nursing "shoes" that have absolutely NO support, the ones everyone wears now. My back and feet always hurt after long shifts in those flat shoes. Now I wear my worn from running running shoes to work....Ahhhhh....so I am ready to spring into action at anytime. Hope your foot recovers soon : D

Yep I wear old running shoes to my clinical shoes and comfy Magnum boots for work. No crocks for me!
