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
6.00

Stuck on the treadmill at the Y with Val in kidzone.  My headphones died at 15 minutes in so I was pretty bored. Did speedwork because I am always bored on the treadmill and it helps to push buttons and make whatever up as I go along.  Michael was doing his own thing on the treadmill next to me so it helped we were both suffering.  

Warmed up 5 minutes, then 2 x 90 seconds on/off 6:18 pace, 4 x 60 seconds on/off from 5:52 to 5:46 pace, 2x90 seconds again at 6:18 pace, jogged a few minutes, 8 minutes at 6:40 pace, jogged a few minutes then finished the last half mile at 6:58 pace because Michael was done and the kids were done with kidzone and ready to go swimming.  Any week I can string together 40 miles somewhere in the sleepless madness I call my life is a good one so I'll call this week a success.

Started at work Friday with sore throat. Didn't want to let my long run partner down Saturday so managed to dose up well with Motrin but it got full force sat night. Slept 11 hours last night.
