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: |

7:25 AP. Cloudy, raining, and only 69 glorious, cool, breezy, degrees. It felt wonderful. Last 2.08 at 6:56 pace--cruising nicely, felt easy. Still sore from the trail race in a weird place--on the outsides of my calves down by my ankles. I used some kind of muscle down there during that race that I don't normally use--clearly I wasn't using them today because it didnt hurt to run. I am thinking some kind of stabilizer muscles on those ankle-twisting holes.
pm. 45 minute military workout video with my husband. good for my lunchlady arms and jelly belly

| | Hills with the tribe! We ran 1.38 warm up to "The Hill". I don't know the grade, but my Garmin shows it .2 to .21 miles long and anywhere from 65 feet up to 99 feet up so who knows. It doesn't seem bad at first but the top is where it gets steep. Did 8 charges up the hill trying to keep the splits consistent with jog down for recovery. We jogged slooow to maximize this recovery. Splits 1:24, 1:27, 1:25, 1:25, 1:25, 1:22, 1:23, 1:24. 1.36 recovery jog back. Drove home and ran 2 at 8:37 pace on the treadmill. The Hill was tough--my legs felt a little rubbery at the end.

| | 5.28 on the treadmill at 8:30 AP while my husband did the military workout video. Then we dashed up the stairs and out the door and I ran 3 more at 8:17, 7:37, 7:05 while he rode his bike. My butt and abs are still sore from the workout video Monday and the hills yesterday. |

about 8:27 pace on the treadmill while the kids watched a movie--I hung out at 7.1mph most of the time but started out slower and finished faster. Anyways plan on doing more later today.
Later: 4.59 on the treadmill at 8:34 AP while my husband did a workout video. I was then going to do some barefoot running on the treadmill but as soon as I started it was making my left achilles hurt so I stopped. No barefoot running for me--don't want an injury! I have always run in shoes and fear I always will, no Kenyan here.

| | 8:07 AP. Chisholm creek nature trails. Mostly a bike path but little short trails branched off. I kept veering off onto these on gravel, some grass, and lots of mud. Did a few creek crossings and had to pull myself up the slippery enbankments with tree branches. The little trails were short(less than a quarter mile I would guess) and then I would end up on bike path again but it was still fun. About 7 miles in the heat, but especially the humidity took its tole and I just stayed on the bike path and struggled a bit to finish. Oh will I ever acclimate to this? |

| | 8:46 AP. Tribal run! It was 79 degrees, 76% humidity. Could be worse! Ran the last .31 at 6:11 pace. Now I'm going to go eat that delicious breakfast my husband is cooking. |
