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: |

| | Hot. humid. 22mph headwind. Summer in Kansas is here. Ran 6 miles at 8:48 AP outside then ran inside and down the stairs onto the treadmill and made 2 miles at 12% grade in 26 minutes. Running, power, walking, and an incredible amount of sweat were involved with this. Then I got a drink and went back out and ran a mile with Ian. | |

| | 84 degrees but low humidity so pretty pleasant. I ditched the shirt. Sorry about the flabby white belly to all those unfortunate witnesses. 7.6 at 8:05 AP on my own on the dirt roads, then 1.1 with Ian and .32 with Vanessa. One mile in 6:59 that felt very very comfortable. Goal for 10K Saturday is to just keep the miles under 7 minutes. Will build from there. | |

| | 8:32 AP. 88 degrees. 59% humidity. No worries, it was a great run. Why you say? Because I was reunited with my running friend EDDY!!! Coming back from injury as well, we are both well enough to run together. | |

| | Too busy to run yesterday. 4 in this hot humid morning at 7:59 AP. Ran easy except for a few surges of 10K pace. I'm doing a 10K tomorrow morning. Should be hot and humid, and big. The River Run kicks off our Wichita riverfest and is usually at least several thousand in the 10K. | |

| | Race: |
Bank of America River Run (6.27 Miles) 00:44:21, Place overall: 108, Place in age division: 2 | | Yuck. Jogged one mile to the starting line, passing a bank sign that said 81 degrees. Lined up, by mile 2 had pretty much given up. I felt terrible. I just tried to keep moving at a steady pace and called it good. One mile jog to cool down. I ran this nearly 3 minutes faster last year. I was also in shape and 14 flippin pounds skinnier. I am trying to be patient. In my fantasy world, I would come back from injury to former level of fitness quickly but it isn't working that way. Back to base mileage and working on that weight. I'm determined now, what a reality check. Walked right by the post-race food, ate small portions at lunch, drank lots of water. I'm serious about it this time. Oh yeah, and no more beer after the kids go to bed at night. | |
