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.

Back at it today. Started my no sugar, mostly raw vegan diet today..a good physical and soul cleanse until Boston. Breakfast was fruit, coffee, almond milk. Parked at scp and ran the first 13 pretty fast, my watch died at mile 3 but I was at sub 7 pace and don't think I slowed much. Ran to Rogers house then we ran ez back to the park for the last 4. 10 minutes of core and a peanut butter banana after.

I'm gonna vent.  Working nights SUCKS!  Single motherhood SUCKS!  All done. Rant finished.  Exhausted.  Very busy and trying time at work all night, preceded by not-a-lot of sleep, then straight home to asthma baby, no school, and my phone blew up.  It blew up and blew up and blew up--texts, phone calls, much more than usual,and of course the needs of my child. by 11am I was nearly in tears, spent, tired, so tired-of-being-this-tired.  I play out these 24 and 36 hour stretches of sleeplessness once or twice every week. every freaking week!!  Guess I was just kidding--rant not quite over.  I did catch a break from noon until 3 and then got up and made coffee and dressed and bathed myself and my child and went and got toilet paper because we were out and called and argued with the electric company and finally, finally, got on the treadmill.  Bastille, I love Bastille.  Great band.  7 miles easy but inserted 5x45seconds/75 seconds off at 5:27 pace in the middle.  Another day down.  Yay!

I look so pudgy in the mirror these days, glad I haven't weighed, so was feeling pretty blah when I dragged myself to the treadmilll after getting Vanessa from school--I was working our association education symposium all day which was a huge success so I was happy with that.  Anyways once I got going I began to feel better and just did a solid speedwork session instead of the 6:00 death workout,

2 mile warm up

3 x 1 mile in 6:00 with .25 recovery

4 x 800 at 5:56. 5:52, 5:49, 5:49 pace with .25 recovery

jogged another easy .25 then one last cooldown mile in 6:40 to enjoy how easy it felt compared to the rest of the paces today

Ez with part of the crew on the HS course after getting stomped at work--completely creamed and I was exhausted but it was a satisfied kind of exhaustion, I had a lot of sick sick people and they got better and it was just one of those nights where I felt like I was on top of my game and made good calls and caught subtle stuff and was fast and flawless and efficient and sharp.  Lots if high fives with my trusty pardner Pete.  I haven't had an awesome superhero shift like that in a looooong time.  It's mostly been those shifts where I swear everybody just dies and there is nothing I can do and I suck and my skills suck and I am missing intubations and iv's because I just suck and I should rip off my paramedic patch and stomp all over it and quit and never ever ever come back. Last night, for a change, I did not suck.  :)  But boy did it wipe me out and off to bed,
