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

5.40

Decent run today. I took it easy for most of the run, had to stop and walk for about 200 meters because a large dog was harassing me and I didn't want to get bit again. It kept its distance and barked at me but I was afraid if I started running I would trigger it to chase and bite. Anyways I got away from it and started running again. I ran hard the last mile because I felt good. Feet felt fine during the run, but now that it's over both my feet and ankles feel stiff and sore. I think all of this is just my body moaning and groaning about being active again. The Run for the Roses 5K is only 10 days away! I'm pretty excited about it! After that there is the Wichita Turkey Trot in November, with the options being a 2 mile or a 10 mile. I will be in no shape for a 10 mile that soon, so I guess it will be the 2 mile! I do want to start getting into some longer races though and try them out when I get in better shape....there is a half marathon in April....

Smart thinking on the dog incident. I can hardly wait to see how you do on 5k. It's to bad they don't have a 10k Turkey Trot for you but 10 mile doesnt seem out of the question. You're already 1/2 way there consistantly and you have about 8 weeks until Thanksgiving. You should check into it.
