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
6.67

5 am.  7:43 average pace.  Started slow at a 9 minute mile and felt terrible and tired, and my calves were really tight, but after 3 miles suddenly snapped out of it and ran the rest of the way in the low 7's.  Now I feel pretty good.  This week is going to be a nightmare with my last week at my old job, more orientation at my new job, and all the shuttling with the kids plus my husband is working mandatory overtime.  It will be hard to get much running in.

You'll get in what you can--and I know that you will find a way!

Good luck with the job switch and the rest of the crazy week!

Enjoy the last week at your job! I know you're excited to start the new one. Good luck balancing everything this week. You'll get it done somehow; that is what mothers do!

Love your new pic!

Good luck this week, I'm sure things will de-stress soon. I don't know how you can go that fast at 5am!
