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: |

| | 1:14:33/8:13 pace. It rained and stormed all night last night so the roads were pretty wet. I ran through running water on the road a total of 8 times(it was shallow running water though). I thought the water in my shoes would bother me but it really didn't. I actually really enjoyed my run and felt like a kid running through mud puddles. Just ran at the pace my body felt like running. Did two sets of strength drills afterward. | |

| | 1:18:41/8:40 pace. Was at work late last night and didn't get much sleep--so I'm tired and took it easy. Gotta run and take my daughter to her 2-year-old checkup. |

| | 1:15:18/8:18 pace. It was wet and drizzly today. Started out slow, felt better after about 2.5 miles and ran at moderate effort for a while, then slowed down the last mile. I found a picture of myself running during the 5k on line and it is a HORRID picture taken at a horrid angle and at a really bad millisecond in time(the camera definitely added 10 pounds)...but it looks to me as if I have lousy running form and need to try to clean it up. I worked on that today--fingers loosely curled, arms back and forth, feet landing underneath me, toes straight ahead, relaxed. blah blah blah. http://www.shutterworksphotography.com/gallery/8033088_UgkLy#522824751_N93ox

| | 1:20:56/9:00 pace. Took it super easy today. Took one different road that was very rocky and uneven but it forced me to take a slow pace so that was alright. Very hot and humid. It started to thunder so the last half mile so I booked it home--a Kansas thunderstorm is not something to be caught out in, and tornado season is here. |

| | Thunderstorms all morning today, and I am too busy this afternoon to run, so, I watched the radar like a hawk this morning, found what looked to be a 30 minute gap between storms, and took off in the rain. I wanted to at least squeeze 4 in so I pushed the pace the first 4 miles in 29:27/7:23 pace, then slowed down since the next storm still had not hit. About 2.5 miles later the wind came and the thunder started to roll again so I turned around and booked it home. Total time 53:29/7:43 average pace. I am just glad to get that much in without getting struck by lightning! I was, however, soaked to the bone. Did two sets of strength drills afterward. Dug out size 4 dresses from years ago and attempted to try them on. They FIT! YIPPEEE! Two of them were TOO BIG! I am wearing one tonight for a date with my husband!

| | 2.5 with Vanessa in the stroller in town, then it started to rain pretty hard so I took her home and then ran 6.54 by myself in the drizzle in 57:29/8:47 pace. Had a great time on my date last night! Unfortunately I am working tonight on a shift exchange from 7pm to 7am so I am going to be awfully tired in church tomorrow. Hopefully I can catch a nap today... |
