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.

This was a wild impromptu 1 am run!  After a suggestion by Lacy on facebook, a group of us decided to run under the lunar eclipse.  I met Lacy at 1:00am at HS, and we ran to the downtown square and met up with four other people.  The four of us then ran through downtown in the middle of the street to the bridge and the Keeper of the Plains statue for a lovely view and pictures.  It was really magical and beautiful.  Then we ran back to the downtown square and me and Lacy ran back to HS.  It was good to run together and talk with my friendly local race rival Lacy and meet a few new people.  I drank extra coffee this morning at work in the jail!

2.69 at 7:36 pace to downtown.

3.11 at 8:28 pace to the bridge and back

2.66 at 7:52 pace back to HS

could you fall asleep after that? late runs rev me up for the night. Sounds very inviting though!! but not in this weather, you would have needed snowshoes or xc skis. : D.

COOL!!! We could not even see it here, too much snow. Although, I would not have gotten up at 1 am to run under it---you are very serious!

You had a chance to shank your rival and you passed it up? You obviously have learned nothing from working at the jail.
