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.

Home treddy squeeze between shifts.  Tried to do a little speedwork.  20 minute warm up, 5 x 60 seconds on/60 off 6:00 pace, 5 minute jog, 5 x 45 seconds on/75 seconds off 5:27 pace, 5 minute jog, 7 minutes 6:27 pace.  was supposed to be 10 but felt pukey.  cooled down to 8 miles.  I wonder about my home treadmill calibration.  All paces feel significantly harder than they do on the treadmills at the Y.  5:27 pace is risking my life on that belt.

Easy 3am circles around post 6, followed by an hour of emscrossfit(slow night at work). We reached a whole new level today with

pushing our cars back and forth across the parking lot. Hard work!! Should get another run in this afternoon.

Afternoon--9 more ez in the sun, in 55 degrees, in a tank top, by Nessa's school. Glorious !

I made an appearance in the March issye of Ultrarunning magazine with an article about me at Heartland. I told my daughter I was famous and she was thrilled. ;)
