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

16.00

I knew this was a little soon after Sunday's 18, but wanted to get some miles in before leaving for Houston tomorrow to visit my sister. I won't run tomorrow and suspect there will be a reduction in running for a few days so I decided to go ahead and start a workout, with the full understanding that I would jog it in as soon as my body gave the signal and not push it. It was after 9:15 when I started and temps were in the 80s by the time I hit the 5 mle mark. 2 mile warm up, 3 at mp 6:51, 6:43, 6:49, 1 mile jog, then started hmp mile repeats with two minute jogs and knew right away as the timed diminished that I was on borrowed time. I did 4 6:30, 6:24, 6:36, 6:38 and then jogged it in to 16 from there. I want to be careful not to put myself into an overtraining hole. This was good enough for today, off to pack for my trip!

Great workout for the conditions. Have a great trip. Make sure you run in the mornings down here, it's brutal otherwise...although you're pretty invincible when it comes to that!

Thats a very solid workout April. Your training has been ridiculously and consistently awesome so do not feel guilty at all about taking some down time. Enjoy the trip!
