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.

It was 104 degrees by the time I had a minute to run and I just couldn't do it today so we made a family trip to the East Y.  7 on the mill at 8:24 pace plus 1 on the indoor track, no watch.  Kids had a fun time in the family zone and my husband ran 3 on the mill next to me!

High humidity too, right? If you're going to run in that you might as well deploy to Iraq, not that it's ever been done before.

Holy cow! What a week!!! With your hill training on that treadmill and the heat training, you will be prepared for anything in St george! I could not even function in that kind of heat! The 90's freak me out. I just hate it!

And, yes, you are SKINNY! Nice job, not sure what I am doing wrong. The only thing I can think of is that I am not eating enough. I only have one tiny treat a day and it has to be less than 150 calories. It is just not working for me. Apparently I need 104 degrees! But, whatever, i am happy that you are on skinny minny!
