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.

New weekly tradition began today....the 6:00 death workout. So basically I get on the treadmill and run 6:00 pace more or less until I can't stand it. Goal is to try to extend it half a mile each week, as well as extend the total distance at 6:00 pace. I warmed up 2 miles ez, then made it to 1.75 at 6:00 pace before bailing, but I'm kicking myself for not hanging on until 2. Jogged .5, then another mile at 6:00, jog, .25 at 6:00 pace. Hit the indoor track for 2 miles including 10 strides. So I made it 1.75 on the first shot with a total of 3 miles at 6.00 pace, so next weeks goal will be 2.25 with a total of 3.5 at 6:00 pace. Hit core and plyo with weights for 30 minutes afterward.

Recovery miles at the East Y. 7 on the mill, one on the indoor track. Sore today, probably because of all that lunging and squatting and jumping around with weights yesterday. Hurts so good.

6:52 pace. Treddy hill day. Nothing spectacular, I wasn't really struggling but was just sorta tired and not feeling it so I completed the workout but didn't ratchet up paces and kill it at the end. Not a superhero workout. .5 warm up ez, 2.5 miles up 4% 7:30 pace, then 5 miles down -2% at 6:22 pace. Gotta start getting the quads ready for some Boston mashing.

Went to Sedgwick County Park to get out of traffic and slush, ran into Karen and Leann and ran with them for miles 1-8.  Ran easy with last 4 6:59. 6:48, 6:49, 6:46.  Did not feel so great on the last 4, but kinda glad this week I set the bar with so-so workouts, leaves room for improvement and next week I should be fully recovered coming off the pneumonia.
