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: |

| | Was supposed to be the 6:00 death workout today but I could tell in the first mile that I just didn't have it, my legs were just not responding. I decided to go ahead and do a workout, but I radically modified it.
2 mile warm up, 1 mile 6:00 pace, .5 recovery, 1 mile 5:56, .5 recovery, then 8 x 400 at 5:52 pace with 400 recovery, cooldown 2.25. Did 40 minutes upper body and core afterward.

| | I had to take yesterday off, too exhausted between shifts. Today Vanessa was sick so I did the home treddy, started at 6.7mph and bumped it up .1mph every 5 minutes until I got to 8 miles. Just a super easy progression, hoping to have my legs under me for a hill workout tomorrow.

| | 6:43 AP. a little quadmashing, picked up the pace from the usual for the uphill and felt it, had to cut it short half a mile to keep from going overboard to the well.
Downtown treddy. .5 warm up 8:34 pace, 2 miles up 4% at 7:24 pace(suddenly got real tough the last half mile). 5 miles down -2% 6:22, 6:18, 6:15, 6:11, 6:07, .5 cooldown flat at 6:40 pace.

| | 7:36 AP. Today was the last decent day to be outside before winter hits again, so I moved the long run to today, despite doing a workout yesterday. My goal was just to get the 18 in at whatever I felt like running. This pace felt pretty easy and it was an enjoyable run, but I could definitely feel the fatigue in my legs in the latter miles.

| | 10 with the crew on the HS course, no watch, pace waxed and waned but nothing fast. They surprised me with a BAA jacket for my send-off to Boston. Very sweet and generous gift! It was chilly this morning, off to sleep before the big ice storm hits tonight.
