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

10.28

2:00 pm. 86 degrees. I started running and thinking it didn't feel too bad so I did some impromptu threshold work, 1 mile at 6:42, .25 recovery, another at 6:40, and then I was hot and miserable and desperate for shade and water and managed to stagger my way home 8.28 total at 7:59 AP, then chugged a cup of water and did two on the treadmill at 8:34 pace. Maybe I will redeem myself with a little marathon pace work tomorrow.

Still, those are speedy miles almost back to back. I hate the stagger-home run too.

You definitely love the punishment of the afternoon sun :)

It's hard to get a good workout if that's the most convenient time to do it. But great threshold miles! What MP are you shooting for? I'm sorry I forget.

Nice job on the chugging.

Joe--Thanks. I really need to do a 3x2 mile threshold workout but with the big miles this week and the heat it was just stupid to even think about it today

Tracy--shooting for a 3:09 so 7:13 will be MP

Burt--Thanks for noticing--I am indeed a good chugger
