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

18.00

7:40 AP. Yesterday was busy at work and then we were up late fixing a friend's leaky bathtub so we bypassed the Valentines date but made it up for it the night before with a bottle of Merlot so no biggy LOL. I was a little bummed yesterday when, after two weeks of dietary righteousness and not eating anything I like I GAINED 3 pounds. Then a patient delicately asked me if I had ever tired ProActiv. Thanks a lot. I did the mature thing and ate M and Ms and a cheeseburger. Today I had to atone for that mess. I am the 24/7 on call nurse so can't leave my phone or stray far from my vehicle. I settled my sweet little girl in for yet another viewing of Wall-E with cheerios and got on the treadmill and did the longest most horrific treadmill run ever. At mile 17 I was nauseated and had to step off for a minute, get a drink of water and eat a few vitamin c fruit chews, and then get back on and finish the final mile. I am glad I gutted it out though and sweat off those 3 pounds, although now I am busily drinking about 4 pounds of water. More dietary sins to follow since obviously the stupid diet doesn't work anyway. 18 mile progressive splits 8:34, 8:27, 8:20, 8:13, 8:06, 8:00, 7:53, 7:47, 7:41, 7:35, 7:30, 7:24, 7:19, 7:13, 7:08, 7:03, 6:58, 6:49

LOL. Sorry this post cracked me up! You're funny and I love funny people!

Nice work on the 18 today. You are a machine girl!

I would have picked that patient's biggest flaw and drawn her/his attention to it. Bad breath? "Have you ever tried using a toothbrush?" Ugly? "Have you ever tried plastic surgery?" Tactless? "Have you ever tried shutting up?"

Oh, and I'm always a few pounds heavier for a few days after a long run. I say you should eat all the m & m's that you want. I run so that I can eat all that shiz-nit. But I know the feeling...

I did the same thing on Sunday at work....hmmmm what to have at the cafeteria....NOTHING looks good,... salad? like that will sustain me when ALL I have been eating is junk...so I ate a cheeseburger and fries to add to my tire around the middle...hence the sluggish effort in my run, I thought I was going to throw up the entire time. DETOX runs sure DO WORK. But not if they HAPPEN to fall on Valentine's Day...DANG that chocolate covered pretzel shaped like rose buds!!! oh I mean dang THOSE chocolate covered pretzelSSSSSS!! Running today was a RELIVE of yesterday. BTW WAY AWESOME PROGRESSIVO!!!

That's funny, my diet the past few days has been horrific too - pure, delicious fat and cholesterol nonstop.

That is a crazy good TM run! Makes me nauseous just reading about it. Sometimes I try to guess at what point in your run I would just keel over and die if I were doing it...pretty soon on this one.
