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: |

Hill work at the downtown Y over lunch. Warmed up 2 miles slow 8:41 to 8:34 pace. Ran uphill at 12% grade for two miles. I had to stop and power walk a few times to re-group a bit, then set the mill at -2% and ran 2.1 miles starting at 6:49 pace and working down to 5:52 pace. cooled down .9 easy to make 7 miles. Nice, sweaty workout. 9:12 AP. pm. 1 mile with Nick, 1 mile with Ian, 10 minutes abs

8:43 AP. Early morning recovery run. By 5am it was 79 degrees and 52% humidity. I plodded along at a gentle 9:30 sleep-run pace until the last few miles when I had to get it going on to get home on time.
pm. 1 with Nick. 1 with Ian. .25 with Vanessa day off tomorrow.

I won't be running until late tonight but I'm just going to post that I dared to weigh this morning after a week of determined discipline. 113, down from 118. Only 5 pounds from decent, only 9 pounds from ideal race weight. Yes!!!
update: there won't be any running at all today. my sister is pre-eclamptic and they are taking baby Maya at 35 weeks today. Getting in the car and driving to Houston shortly.

| | 8:28 AP. Hermann park across the street from the hospital. It was hot hot hot and a little miserable but I found the fountains and every 1.5 miles or so looped through and plowed through a crowd of four-year-olds to get wet. My tiny niece is 4 lb 15 oz but healthy! | |
