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.

We moved Saturday and I was going to run but when I laid down for a few minutes to rest because I was exhausted I woke up Sunday morning.  I hate moving.  But it's done. 

workout 1:  treadmill in the garage is LOUD and my husband leveled it with a wooden spoon under 1 corner because the house has settled a bit.  10 minute warm up 8:34 pace.  10 x 1 minutes 5:56 to 5:27 pace with one minute recover. 10 minute cooldown.--5.13 miles

workout 2:  1.65 miles 7:39 pace to post 11.  4 miles with Heidi about 10:00 pace, then 1.65 miles home 7:16 pace.--7.3 miles

10 miles dreadmill 8:34 pace then p90x plyometrics.  Plyo has nothing on distance runners cardio-wise but my thighs were burning.  Maybe it will help with leg strength, since my legs give out way before my lungs and heart do.

7:25 AP.  I am running the Psycho Wyco 50K on February 11th.  12,000 feet of elevation change by way of wicked rolling hills.  Should be muddy and incredibly difficult, and I'm undertrained, but somehow I am really looking forward to this and feel strong.

7:59 AP. I got to run with slowjoe from the blog today!  It was nice having him over for dinner last night, and frankly, with the rain coming down today, I think my resolve to run in it would have weakened without company.  We started at 46 degrees and rainy, and finished soaking wet at 50 degrees and rainy.  Go figure, any time I am running with Joe it is raining.  We started out nice and easy and picked it up to a solid aerobic effort at the end.  The miles went fast with good company.
