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.

8:57 average pace.  It rained and rained all night, and was still raining this morning.  I waited a little while, but did not hear any thunder or see any lightning so finally I prepared for the soaking and out I went.  Got drenched for the the first 4 miles and then it suddenly stopped.  Altogether a pretty pleasant run!  Had walnut raisin oatmeal for breakfast and it is soooo good!

Walnut raisin oatmeal???? YUCk!!! I like the breakfasts your hubby fixed ;) (I have a deep seeded hate of raisins and oatmeal :)

Your running is SO solid!!! when is your marathon? I think I asked you this last week, but I must have missed your reply :(

Sometimes running in the rain can be so unpleasant--glad this one was okay! At least you had some time where it wasn't pouring down rain, but you were probably pouring down sweat at that time!

Good running!

Looking good April. Keep up that excellent work. You will kill in any race you put your mind in, I'm sure.

April- read AmberG's blog and highlight the address she has there to view the video she entitled "let this not be you" at the end of a marathon.
