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.

Got off work this morning and carpooled with Nick, Fernando, and Kyle to Cassoday.  Kyle took us all in the jeep so were able to drive deep into the rockiest, hilliest part of the Heartland course.  Ran 8 miles out and back.  Cooled down one mile running back out to run Nick in.   They loved the wicked hills and we all worked our butts off.  A little extra challenge today because it rained all night and the ground was a bit squishy and muddy and of course we had the usual 20mph Kansas wind but we are all so used to wind...it just is what it is.  Didnt feel the wind until the turnaround.  Good night!
