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.

I met with Julie and we had an incredible week!! Wish we could see each other motre than every few years.

We ran Boston together. It's been a tough year for both of us. We celebrated. We high-fived, yelled, fist-pumped, threw our hands in the air, and ran because we could. Then we held hands and crossed the finish together, and then we cried together.

There is nothing in the world like joining together as women and telling our stories, and laughing and crying and running epic-boston-year together.

We dorked out and wore matching outfits too.

"Go blue times two", "go twins". Great day!!

And then we ended up without a ride to our hotel after, with no phone, no id, no money.

Thank you Tom Cali from Penn State and your Porsche with the top down. We had good luck with meeting great people!

I'm ready to run hard and train again. Thank you FRB.

I'm humbled. We passed a guy at mile 23 crutching away on one leg. So much to take in from last years tragedy and stories of strength and grace.

Julie is a Rock Star. She was hurting from an injury and pulled through and ran Boston with me anyway. I LOVE YOU JULIE!!

Thank you Lord for letting me live to run another day. I was hit by a car exactly one year ago April 22.

Have a great day bloggers!!

aorund Cape Cod by Julie's cousin's house.  neat place!  The first half mile was the usual ow-ouch-ow mince in the quads and then things loosened up.  Ran slow.  Really slow.

Visited Miller's Meadow and the singletrack again.  The 30mph wind and 86 degree noon heat beat me up a bit--took it very easy.  I visited the weight room at the Y afterward.
