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.

Happy Easter! Mine has been wonderful! We went to a great sunrise service and then breakfast, gave the kids easter baskets at home, then went to Grandma's for cabbage rolls, and for dinner are heading to firehouse 11 for spaghetti with the tribe--my marathon send-off. 6 days. I am excited and a little nervous. This taper week may very nearly kill me. I want that 3:15 so bad I can taste it. Oh how I hope the wind is not blowing. I have a plan B though for a windy day--if I can't make the time, I am going for place. After looking at winning times over the past years I have a shot at top 3 and some money, so I am going for it regardless of time. Maybe I am fooling myself but I feel good about my training. So, I just need everything else to fall in place.

Cabbage rolls??

Your training has been very good so either way I think you will do well.

Hopefully 3:15 and a top three finish!
