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.

endless stairs.  the stairmill, did one hour and climbed 493 floors and sweat more than I have ever sweat in my life.  35 minutes after on the cybex bike then had to call it quits because my knee didn't really like the bike today.  with that much sweat, I decided to weigh myself.  pleasantly surprised, not nearly as bad as I imagined because without running I feel like a shapeless slug

To my longtime buddy, partner in crime from paramedic school, loyal friend who always had my back, loving father and husband to his beautiful family, I will miss you Scott.  See you on the other side, you are loved.

uphill walking. 10 minutes warm up 8%, then 5 x (5 min 10%, 5@12%, 5@14%). first

set at 4mph, remaining 4 sets at 4.5 mph. 5 minute cooldown 8%. I think this

treadmill was calibrated wrong because this should have been harder

not feeling it today. climbing muscles were tired and I bailed at 45 minutes on

the endless stairs, went to finish out some cardio on the cybex but it kept

slipping off resistance suddenly and jarred my leg hard several times. it hurt.

disconcerted, I got off and went to the recumbent bike. after 15 minutes I

realized it did almost nothing for my heart rate and now I was just grumpy with

an aching leg so I got Vanessa out of kidzone and as we were walking to where I

parked on 3rd street a car came blowing by close and fast. we both screamed and

I about puked. so we shall spend the rest of our anxious day at home eating

pancakes and doing laundry. some days
