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.

7:42 AP.  Treadmill.  I know I said I wouldn't do any workouts until next week but Vanessa wanted to watch Wall-E AGAIN and I am so bored with that treadmill I couldn't take it anymore and had to vary it up so.....

all on 1% incline

4 mile warm-up 8:34, 8:27, 8:27, 8:27

2 miles 6:40, 6:40

~5 minute jog 8:34 pace

10 x 1 minute on, 1 minute off.  All minutes "off" 8:34 pace; paces for minutes "on" were 6:11/6:07/6:03/6:00/6:00/6:00/6:00/6:00/6:00/5:52

cool down about .7 at 8:34 pace to make 10 miles.

dynamic stretching and strength drills afterward.  I was a lot more injury resistant when I did these in the past.  Left shin thingy is tingly but not painful. weird. My legs feel better at faster paces, which makes no sense.

Vanessa is doing okay. We had another rough night but she is better during the day when sitting up and coughing that junk out.

Good workout. I can see how you could get restless on the treadmill...

Glad Vanessa is doing okay. I hope you both get needed rest this weekend!

Really nice job there. 2 weeks is enough easy running, I say!

Good to hear the little one may be getting better too.

OH, I so hear you about the treadmill. You have to do something to keep it interesting! And I do think there is something to feeling better when you are moving a bit faster.

Sorry to hear about your sick child, it sounds miserable for her and mom! And i HOPE that the shin thingy is all good.
