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: |

one hour aquajog. 5 minute warm-up. 10 x (45 secs intense, 15 easy, 45 intense, 15 easy, 2 minutes hard, one minute easy). 5 minute cooldown. Doctor visit WEDNESDAY at 2:40. My legs feel great. I am sure the doctor and x-ray will agree and running rehab can commence.

| | Boston was amazing today. Life is...whatever. Very very busy with our newly bought-out company, all the mandatory training learning the new way, on top of my caseload, so no time, no time. 20 minutes of abs, leg lifts, pushups blah blah. At least I didn't sit in the Quik Trip parking lot today. Getting up early to hit the Y tomorrow.

| | Another combo pool workout. Got up early to get this done before my day that would last until 9:30 pm started. 55 minute aquathrash consisiting of 5 minute warm-up, 12 x (3 minutes easy, 1 minute hard), 3 minute cooldown. Into the lap pool. 50 yards adjusting my goggles. 500 yards in 10:30, working on taking a breath every other stroke instead of every stroke. I did okay with this, but had to take some cheater breaths here and there. Then I did 500 yards easy in 11:21. It's really a good thing that I'm not a triathleted because my run could not make up for my lousy swim times. 77 minute workout total. Doctor tomorrow(today). | |

1 whole mile! No watch. Nice and easy, the sun on my skin, the fresh air! It felt great! I felt smooth and comfortable and it was soooo hard to stop after a mile. Guess I better head to the Y to finish my workout!
update: 45 minutes intervals on adaptive motion elliptical

| | 1 glorious mile on the indoor track at the Y. 12.43 miles in 40 minutes on the cybex bike, level 10. 20 minutes on the adaptive motion elliptical. .25 mile brisk walk to cool down. I don't know how much fitness I have lost yet....I guess I really won't until the first time I race, and I am a ways away from that. | |

| | Slid into the North Y over lunch. 2 laps walk, 1 mile easy on the indoor track. I thought maybe my right leg felt weird at first but I think it was psychological. 13.34 miles in 45 minutes on the cybex bike accompanied with a sweatstorm. Tomorrow will be another pool run, then a few more 1 mile days, and Wednesday I plan to up the ante to 2 miles and see what happens. | |

| | Another pool run. Fortunately, Amy drove out to join me. We did 5 minutes hard with one minute off and a few sprints at the end for a total of 80 minutes. It went fast. We both agreed that the one mile we are running is lame but it is better than nothing. I am looking forward to that mile tomorrow. This is a painstaking process but the thought of cracking those fractures again and having to start all over forces me to be good. Two miles next week will feel like heaven. | |
