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

11.07

8:15 average pace. Tried running this afternoon with an mp3 player and it was actually pretty fun. It did seem to make the run go faster. I just put it on mix not knowing what all was on it and ended up listening to an interesting mix of guns'n'roses, linkin park, queen, and smashing pumpkins. Worked well for running music. Felt warm and energetic and ran the last .2 mile stretch at 5:22 pace. Now off to finish Halloween costumes. Ian is a ghost, Nick is a storm trooper, and Vanessa is going to be Punky Brewster. The boys have no idea who that is but it will be a fun and easy costume to make.

I love running with music, although I can not do that kind of music----it makes me angry while I run!!! I listen to rap/hip hop type music. The beat keeps me moving.

Hope you had a great Halloween.

Punky Brewster? That IS an old one. Must show pictures!! I will try to post mine sometime. Great long run!! Music sure helps, and I forgot mine in yesterdays race, major bummer especially when running alone in the frozen tundra.
