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.

no run today, Nessa is sick and I am tired.  been looking at way too much boston footage, photos, and stories.  You couldn't target a more peaceful group of people--runners.  totally heinous crime.  I am glad that our FRB friends and my local friends are safe, but not everyone was so lucky.  Maybe it is rebellion, but, I still want the detailed race reports from my running friends.  It is sick and tragic what happened in Boston, but there were some great races ran and I for one am still going to celebrate the stories and journeys of the races ran despite the tragedy.  I also am touched and driven to tears seeing how bystanders, runners, everyone leaped to the aid of the injured.   The tragedy is horrible but before the smoke ever cleared the evidence of the good in humanity shows.  There were a lot of heroes in Boston too.

one hour fight club, then straight to my run.  this is the only day this week a long run was possible, so did 18 very wet and drizzly miles.  All ez except 15 and 16 were at 6:45 pace, but then I backed down because my body is not yet ready for any more fast stuff, need a few more days easy.  hoping to sharpen up for a 1:27ish half on May 5.  I hope.
