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.

7:31 AP.  Went and ran with the GoRun group and had good conversation with Lacy, Zach, Jeremiah, Eddy, Barry, and Tony.  Randy gave an excellent presentation afterward on running form and efficiency and we all got up and did some drills, mostly involving dynamic stretching.  I enjoyed the bounding and skipping.  There was a huge group, probably around 50!  Great times!  I didn't feel sluggish today.  I am starting to feel eager to race.

Come on, Burt, you have seen that before, right? I believe it is at the beginning of the movie Cars but not sure. It is MY FAVORITE! I feel a new blog title coming on.

Pink, pink, well what's wrong with pink?

I have never seen it.
