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
10.08

First did 9.08 in 1:19:36/8:46 pace.  Took it nice and easy--I still have a little bit of lingering soreness in my rear end and hamstrings from the race Saturday.  Came home and did two circuits of strength drills, then back out for 1 mile in 9:12 with Jesse.  Came back in and stretched a little--no appetite this morning(odd for me), so choked down a packet of instant oatmeal and some milk.  Back to the grind today at work.  I have done some thinking about the trail half in June and am paranoid about turning my ankles, so I think I am going to forego the half in June and go for a 5k pr June 6th instead.  I will save my first half for a fast flat one in September.  That gives me nearly 5 months to work on my fitness and translate my current 10k pace into my half-marathon pace.

10 miles now! Getting into the big leagues now. Good for you. You have worked hard to get where you are.

Good idea to avoid strains on ankles while they get stronger, do suggest a HM before your full marathon...

No appetite is a concern. If it persists, possibly the pace is too fast.

Appetite returned with a vengeance this afternoon at work. Hopefully things are back to normal tomorrow. I think perhaps it takes longer to get hungry after my run because I am running in hotter temperatures than I have been used to all winter and spring. It is suddenly in the 70's and 80's here and I was acclimated to 30-50 degrees.
