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
8.00

8:28 AP.  Treadmill.  My DDRR(day after dismal race recovery).  I have identified a problem today:   I'm not sore!  How can I not be sore?!?  Not even one little tiny bit.  Did I race or did I just do a big 'ol super tempo?  Sorry...just thinking out loud.  No more racing until marathon day. That way I arrive at the line itching to race, tapered, and hopefully I RACE!  I want to feel spent, sore, barely able to walk, too uncomfortable to sleep right,--that's how I should feel after a race that I really tore up.  That is my goal--to feel like that after October 10th!

You are funny! Maybe it was just a good day...or maybe you will be really sore tomorrow!

Maybe it's because I went straight to church afterward...

And God said Ye shalt have fresh legs for thy marathon training. And it was so.
