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

7:33 AP.  Did 3x1 miles at 10k effort at 6:40, 6:54, and 6:44.  I was really hoping 10k effort woud produce faster speeds.  It is not looking real good for a PR on Saturday.  I just can't seem to get it together with running lately.  I am thinking of ditching a fall marathon, and running Houston in January.  My sister lives in Houston and is thinking of doing the marathon, plus this would give me more time to train for and enjoy shorter races for a while before thinking about a marathon again.  Then, hopefully I will be itching for the 26.2 and be ready for a big PR on what is supposedly a flat and fast course.

Yeah, do Houston! I'm gonna make it my first full (hopefully). It's my hometown and it goes a couple blocks from my parents house. Minus a couple of steep overpasses, it's flat as a pancake. The crappy thing is you gotta sign up in July - specifically July 27 since it fills up in a day or two.

Relax--you will do great on Sat! I believe in you!

I think you are going to do just fine!!! Nothing can imitate the speed that comes out on race day!

I hear you about the marathon. There are not my favorite, 2 a year is all I can handle, they stress me out so much!

I think your mile reps were at a pretty good pace - throw in some race day excitement and I bet you shine in your race!! (It's always fun to read your blog - you're so fast at all distances it's hard for you to decide what distance to be best at!)

How's the new job going?

Houston is on my short list too April!

I just realized that the Olympic Trials will be held there the day before the Houston Marathon in 2012. They must really know how to put on a great race if they got the Trials bid.
