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.

8:50 average pace.  Took it easy.  Woke up with a minor sore throat, same as yesterday, hope I am not getting a cold.  It felt better after running.  It was overcast and only 60 degrees when I started, and I could smell the rain and grass.  It feels like fall and I got all nostalgic because this is when I started running last year.  It was the end of August last year when I wheezed my way through that first 12 minute mile and thought it was going to kill me.  Wow, a lot has changed since then.

You only started running again a year ago?!!! You are inspiring. PS that was not a big blowup 1/2 marathon. My first half was on a trail in 1995 in 1:50. I was pretty proud of that. You should be too!!! Just the description of your feelings in that race tell how strong you are!! Great mileage today!! I am taking the less is more approach. I am burnt out quite a bit, the fires are keeping me that way. When the fall air hits thats when I revive....here's hoping.

Hey, congrats on that full year of running. Now you look back over your shoulder and can see how much you -and only you- have accomplished. Feel proud of yourself, you have earned it.
