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.

Eric--actually a pretty entertaining show!

Allie--I liked this one way better than the other Prefontaine movie I watched

Julie--it's about steve prefontaine--very interesting and makes you want to run!

Yeah, "Without Limits" is definitely the better of the two Pre movies. Glad you enjoyed it!!

We watched "Chariots of Fire" last Friday and the tune is still going through my head. Oh, to run barefoot on the beach in white golf clothing.

Can you believe I have never seen Chariots of Fire?! It is next on my running movie list--will plan to watch it before a run. Today I watched Chris Solinsky take down the AR in the 10k on youtube before running.

Chariot's of Fire Soundtrack got me movin' when I was 13 years old. I ran to escape pain. Now I run to be in pain....JK : D You are running well!!
