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: |

| | 7:39 ap. Good run overall, but a workout Flop. Met up with the crew, Kyle, Jarrod, Mike, and Rob, and west we went onto the country roads. 10 nice n easy and talking then started what I wanted to be a 6:50ish tempo for 10 miles, but that only lasted 3 miles and I slid into the low 7s. Don't know if it is this respiratory bug I have or what, but I had no mojo today and I knew it. Eww. Hopefully I get one more good one in before Psycho on Feb 8th for a confidence boost. Now off to keep hacking up a lung! | |

| | pathetic miles by Vanessa's school, although the chest pain and wheezing subsided a little bit towards the end, and then I stopped runinng, and the never-ending coughing fit began, quite a sight for the other parents. Anywho, got her home and did 24 minutes of drills, then showered, went out, and overate. must be feeling better to eat that much.

| | Windy today, and wind triggers coughing fits, so I hit the east Y treadmill. I decided to try for a little workout since I am feeling better, although not 100%. 20 minute wu easy, 3 minutes of 1 minute up 6% 6:40 pace, 1 minute flat 6:00 pace, 1 minute down -2% 5:27 pace. I f did 3 of these with 3 minute recovery and felt like I was gonna puke, so I switched to 6 x 1 min on/off at the same--up, flat, down. then I jogged for 8 minutes, then 10 minutes at 6:40 pace, then 2.15 mile cooldown easy. I don't know if that was so hard becase it was so hard, or if I'm just still sickish.

| | 3 x 5 mile loops on the singletrack at Miller's Meadow. First loop I felt winded and out of shape keeping up with Kyle and Jarrod, second loop I fell back a minute or two and felt better. Then they stopped, and I took an easy third loop. I feel breathless and out of shape, gonna chalk it up to this cold and hope that it gets better before next Saturday. I am going to back down this week and really try to rest!
