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
9.54

8:48 average pace.  Came home from work at 6:45 am exhausted, flopped into bed, and did not sleep so well.  Tossed and turned until 12:23 and then gave up and got up.  I am just not used to sleeping during the day.  Oh well.  Only one more night and then back to a normal schedule for a while.  Drank some coffee, ate 2 nutrigrain bars, putted around a bit, and then went for my run.  It is in the mid-eighties and so humid you could just choke on the air, so not a comfy run.  Chugged gatorade twice.  Wanted to stop/not run at all because I am just plain tired and want to lay around and do nothing.  Made a deal with myself that I could cut the run short of 10 miles as long as I hit 60 for the week, which I did!  Yeah!  Two weeks in a row.  Next week will be easier when I don't have this night shift stuff going on.  Happy Independence Day everybody!  Off to spend some time with my family before a night full of folks burning and blowing themselves up, and then getting drunk and fighting and shooting each other(okay hopefully it's not that bad but the gun and knife club has been busier than usual lately).

Way to tough if out. 60 miles! wow!

You are doing so well.

Do you think we should throw in a low mileage week somewhere in our training?

I have read that you are supposed to have a mileage cut every 4th week or so for recovery sake. I am going to race next weekend so next week will probably be under 60. You?

Way to get in your miles even though you are exhausted. Hope that the 4th shift wasn't too crazy and that you're getting some sleep.
