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

a.m.  Fall festival in Rose Hill today.  Nick ran the mile and I ran the mile with Vanessa in the stroller.  Warmed up about a quarter mile and then a brisk 6:40ish mile.  Temps in the 30's today it is COLD.  Nick did really good- the fourth graders got a trophy for having the most participants and Nick got a medal!  I opted out of the 5k because the temptation to run hard and compete would have been too much and it is too close to the marathon. I just wanted to have fun.  Afterward we watched the parade(a LONG parade and they threw a LOT of candy and now I have to sneak around and throw most of it in the dumpster when the kids aren't looking--I do it every Halloween too)

p.m.  6.83, 8:09 average pace.  Felt great--I really do like running in the cold weather.  Long sleeves, pants, earwarmers and gloves.  If it is this cold for the marathon that is okay with me.

What is the course like?

From seeaprilrun on Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 15:29:31 from 205.172.12.229

Sunday! I hope I feel better and have rested by then. The course is supposed to be relatively flat with a nasty hill around mile 21 or 22 and then back to flat. About 10 miles of it is on the base so can't exactly drive it.
