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 a glorious and sunny 62 degrees, I was floating along like a gazelle, reveling in nature, when i... Bit it.  concrete belly flop on Woodlawn.  It tore one palm up, scraped the other, and took out a knee and elbow.  There was enough blood to make it look like I was fleeing the scene of a crime as I ran home whimpering.  My left palm has lots of layers of skin peeled up like a banana.  ahem. so, no pushups today.  I will try again tomorrow for my epic run.

Joined Shelby at the downtown Y for his workout, 2 mile wu, 2 mile tempo 6:45, 6:20, 2 mile cooldown.  Then I ran into Coach Jeff and ran about 3 more cooldown with him.  Banana peel hand is a little better, but looks gross.  Trying to motivate myself for a solo long run tomorrow....

Did my park-and-run(plod) at Vanessa's school. Very ez, legs are heavy from yesterday, pretty sure I didn't even beat the 9:00 girl. I am down to the skinny work pants.

Very quick overspeed workout on the home treddy.  Sick kid, between shifts, had to haul out of bed to get her, so a little tired and short for time but satisfied with the workout.  Warmed up 15 minutes very slow, then 12 x 45 seconds on/75 seconds off--4 at 5:27 pace, 4 at 5:21 pace, and 4 at 5:15 pace.  Then I did 5 minutes at 6:18 pace and a tiny cooldown to 6 and off to take care of my baby and get ready for work.

10 super ez on the home treddy while Vanessa watched a movie.  Today I opened the closet door that I face, so my view was actually a little better.  Pandora and some headphones and all in all, it wasn't so bad.

Home treddy. Not sure if I will wiggle 3 more in later or not to get to 70 for the week. Looking forward to 20 with friends tomorrow!
