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. Favorite Blogs: |

| | Intentions were good, made it to the Y, but Val was mopey and acting puny and has a bit of a fever so mission abandoned. Flying solo with young children as a parent makes consistency quite difficult.

| | Treadmill fartlek for an hour. Mostly quarters at 6:40 pace. I'm having terrible tailbone pain for no reason. I haven't fallen or anything. Hurts to sit, cough, sneeze, or laugh. Can't lay on my back. Standing, walking, running, are fine. so weird

| | Loops at post 12 that kept getting interrupted by calls until I gave up. Tailbone is better

| | Dreadmill at the Y. 1 mile warm up, 3 at 6:58, jogged a mile, 4x 400 at 6:18 pace with 400 rests, coold down to 7. Not really a planned speed workout, just got bored as usual on the mill. My mysterious tailbone pain is almost completely gone.

| | no run today but I benched for the first time ever. Benched almost my bodyweight so pretty proud of that. It was fun and scary but Michael spotted me so I knew I would be fine.

| | Eventually got this run in at post 12. We heard two gunshots nearby around 0200, so I was a little leery. Went out around 0300 and walked the perimeter and didn't see anything so went ahead and started laps. Got interrupted by a call at lap 10, but ran 20 more when we got back. 30 laps total. It's a run. Nobody shot at me.
