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: |

| | 7:45 AP. Felt pretty tight in the hips after yesterday's treadmill speedwork but loosened up after a while and ran a few faster ones at the end. My poor baby stuck a metal key in an electrical outlet to unlock it. It didn't go well. It was quite a shock, and she had a black star in her palm, bu the burn doc said she would heal up fine. Scared me. It shorted the lights out and melted the key into the outlet--David had to yank it out. | |

| | 7:40 AP. Yesterday was busy at work and then we were up late fixing a friend's leaky bathtub so we bypassed the Valentines date but made it up for it the night before with a bottle of Merlot so no biggy LOL. I was a little bummed yesterday when, after two weeks of dietary righteousness and not eating anything I like I GAINED 3 pounds. Then a patient delicately asked me if I had ever tired ProActiv. Thanks a lot. I did the mature thing and ate M and Ms and a cheeseburger. Today I had to atone for that mess. I am the 24/7 on call nurse so can't leave my phone or stray far from my vehicle. I settled my sweet little girl in for yet another viewing of Wall-E with cheerios and got on the treadmill and did the longest most horrific treadmill run ever. At mile 17 I was nauseated and had to step off for a minute, get a drink of water and eat a few vitamin c fruit chews, and then get back on and finish the final mile. I am glad I gutted it out though and sweat off those 3 pounds, although now I am busily drinking about 4 pounds of water. More dietary sins to follow since obviously the stupid diet doesn't work anyway. 18 mile progressive splits 8:34, 8:27, 8:20, 8:13, 8:06, 8:00, 7:53, 7:47, 7:41, 7:35, 7:30, 7:24, 7:19, 7:13, 7:08, 7:03, 6:58, 6:49 | |

| | am. 5 on the treadmill to shake it off at 8:34 pace. Shin bugged a little. I cannot believe I got back on that machine today. pm. 6 with the GoRun group 7:20ish pace--my Garmin was dead but I think that's what Lacy said it was. Felt great. Shin felt fine. Strange. Legs don't feel dead at all from yesterday.

am. 7.1 pushing the stroller. no watch. I tried to take it easy but there is nothing easy about pushing a stroller into a Kansas headwind. Nothing. I panted and gasped for air worse than in speedwork when going uphill. I did have about a 30 minute reprieve at mile 5 when we hit up the playground. before finishing. 2 pull-ups, teeter-totter push-ups, and swing-push lunges. more easy miles later hopefully. Shin/knee thing did the usual warm-up and disappear after a few miles.
naptime: 5 more treadmill 8:30 AP

| | 7:55 AP. Met up with the GoRun group on the HS group and tagged along with them for 5, then turned around and ran into Carlos and Steph so I turned back around and ran with them for a while, and then eventually turned back around and made my way back to my car. My legs feel surprisingly good after yesterday's workout, but I've got that tired feeling. I think today calls for a nap and some serious laying around if I can manage it. | |
