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. Favorite Blogs: |

| | one hour of a particularly brutal fight club, lots of bagwork(love), jumping jacks, and jumping over and around stuff. nice plod on the run. easy miles this week, will probably skip fight club thursday and friday so all systems are somewhat fresh on Saturday. | |

| | Indoor track at downtown Y. 2 mile warm-up. 3 miles hard in 18:45. 3 mile cooldown including 4 sprints. So my hope is 6:15 pace today makes 6:50 pace on Saturday feel easy. | |

| | oh so slow. butterflies in my stomach and tingling in my legs, about the right way to feel the day before the race. a whopping 5 weeks of training. I am putting my faith in the fact that the body remembers how to run, it always remembers. Urish hill, here I come! | |

| | Race: |
Topeka to Auburn half marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:33:44, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1 | | Not the time I wanted, definitely forgot how wicked and up, up, uphill this course was. Upside, I felt strong the whole time, just told myself to keep it under control and run. Think I kept it too under control because next thing I knew it was over and I felt way too good. Legs were burning from all the climbing but aerobically felt awesome, could've talked the whole time. I feel like if I keep plugging away and get back to trained up this could be a really great year. Rode up with the honey badger team and we cleaned up awards, was pretty fun. Didn't wear a watch, but knew from running near my team mate most of the first half that splits when not climbing were right around 6:45 so really, a 1:29 in a few months is likely. maybe sub-3 this fall. feeling good! | |
