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.

Tribal hill workout.  It rained all morning and cooled the temps way down and it gave me wings.  I felt great and had better than ever splits on the hill.  

1.37 mile warm up slow.  12 charges up the hill 1:15, 1:20, 1:19, 1:18, 1:19 1:16, 1:17, 1:15, 1:16, 1:16, 1:12, 1:10.  Strangely, oxygen debt is much more tolerable and comfortable in cooler temps.  Although I was breathing like a freight train I felt okay with it.  Did a 13th climb up the hill with Stacy while she finished and then we all jogged 1.37 back to our cars.

Nice hill repeats!

Is the 1:10 a hill repeat PR?

'Tis a hill PR indeed!

Nice workout! It is SO much easier running in cooler temps! Glad you got them, and that they put a spring in your step!
