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
9.10

4:15 AM.  8:47 AP. I just don't move much this time of morning--but it was run early or run never for today.  My legs felt pretty good despite yesterday's workout so I was happy about that.  My 3 year old daughter is my hero today.  She got her poor big toe smashed and it bled a lot and it's hugely swollen, and whenever she walks around more blood comes out and spills over the top of her band-aid.  I was changing her band-aid for the third or fourth time and said something along the line of  cleaning the blood off when she calmly reassured me that it was not blood, just berry juice, and her toe was not broken.

That is so cute!

It sure takes a while to get moving in the morning. I call it SLEEP RUNNING. ;o)

LOL that is exactly what it is, in fact, my opening 9:45 mile was more of a stagger.

Well, she has been drinking a lot of juice lately.

That's a cute story. I feel your pain on that early morning crap!
