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.

Surprise!  Speedwork!  I came charging into the downtown Y over lunch, ran into Randy outside and April in the locker room, and of course joined the rest f  the gang--scott, frank, don,  for an easy 5...or not.  About a quarter mile in they announced that Mondays were fartlek day.  Me and April were surprised but went for it anyway.  6 fartleks from their planned landmarks and a few miles to cool down.  .31 at 6:07 pace, .39 at 5:59 pace, .17 at 6:18 pace, .29 at 6:08 pace, .47 at 6:50 pace, .36 at 5:57 pace.  The first one shocked my system and felt hard but after that I felt great.  I'm kinda happy to visit sub-6 pace today.   Easy 6 or 7 tomorrow.  Legs feel A-okay.

8:46 AP.  4:30 AM.  It's been a long time since I ran outside on my dirt roads in the dark.  It was beautiful and starry but creepy and nerve-racking too.

7:50 AP.  Ran from the downtown Y over lunch for an hour and meandered around the downtown and riverside neighborhoods while listenting to some tunes.  The temps were way cooler today and it was overcast and I felt great!  I ran easy but the cooler temps make easy much faster.

What I listened to:  go ahead, laugh

Cloverton—“Take Me Into the Beautiful”

Kutless—“Strong Tower”

JC Chasez—“Blowin’ me up”

The Verve—“Bittersweet symphony”

The Proclaimers—“I’m Gonna Be(500 miles)”

Blessed Union of Souls—“I Believe”

Crazy Town—“Butterfly”

K’s Choice—“Not an Addict”

Smashing Pumpkins—“Disarm”

Linkin Park—“Waiting for the end”

P. Diddy/Dirty Money—“Coming home”

Scorpions—“Wind of Change”

Eminem—“Love the way you lie”

Katy Perry—“Firework”

Mike Posner—“Please Don’t go”

8:11 AP.  The air was like syrup with the post-thunderstorm humidity.  I ran nice and slow, listend to music, and was very glad that I have run 5 days in a row now with no pain.  Tomorrow is day 6 and then a day off.  I sprinted one block at 4:05 pace, and was able to really get up on my toes. I haven't been able to get up on 'em quite like that in the past; I think I learned it from pool running where you pretty much are forced to run on your toes.

68 degrees.  90% humidity.  Very Houston marathonish.  Ran 6 miles at 8:25 pace on the dirt then came in and walked 2 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill at 12% incline.  The walk was sadistically more difficult than the run.
