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.

34 days to SGM.  Watching my diet really close now on the final countdown--if it's not nutritious, it's not going in my mouth.

Congrats on 3 years, undoubtedly just as challenging as running sub-3. Which I think you can also do!

From flatlander on Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 00:33:15 from 75.196.231.56

You can do one, you can do the other. You have an iron will and I think you can do it.

From Burt on Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 12:09:39 from 206.19.214.144

You can do it. You have an iron lung.

I think it's time to feature you on my wall of fame again pretty soon.

Sub-3 for those 3 years of healthy living. Nothing better than that.

Will be cheering for you from here !

There, you said it. Get behind it, April. You are on your way...
