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.

Okay it's for real now.  Now there's money involved.  This conundrum of how to run with a new baby and no help is solved.  I was just gonna wait for stroller season and had kinda given up.  Well the Y lets baby be in kid zone 30ish minutes.  And I start back to work shortly and am allowed to be in a jumpsuit for the first few hours.  Work laps coming soon, as many as allowed by the 911 gods.

So today my incredibly out of shape self ran 3.2 miles on the mill, then put Val in the front carrier and did stair laps.  The downtown Y has 4 flights in a row all the way to the top.  I was hurting by the 5th lap.  Not sure how many I did--til my legs quivered and I was well over "threshold".

Will be interesting to see how this training works out...

3 on the treddy at the Y until baby V's kid zone time was up.  I am sore from those stairs yesterday.  Val's dad decided to come visit her a little while in the afternoon, so I had a little time to run laps around Vanessa's school until she got out.  All miles at my 100 mile race pace.

treddy during my 30 minute kid zone allotment. Quads are still smashed from the stairs two days ago.  Can't wait for stroller season when I can run more than 30 minutes because I feel good.  Will start incorporating tabata--type workouts at home to work on general fitness.  I keep thinking it will all come together somehow and let me run some type of decent race eventually.  I think it will soon end up where my laps at work are easy days and my 30 minutes on the treddy on off days will just be balls out running hard.  For now it's all just easy running to get back any kind of a base.  I am in dismal shape.
