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: |

| | Strength workout on the mill. 2 mile warm-up at 8:34 pace. 2 miles at 12% incline at 12:00 pace although I took 2 brief power hiking breaks and slowed it to 15:00 pace for those. 3 miles at -2% at 6:40 pace, then 1 mile cool down starting at 8:34 pace but speeding it up somewhat. 8:49 AP overall. Sweatfest. Highlight of the workout: running friend walking by remarks that I appear to have lost some weight. Thanks!

| | 8:01 AP. From the downtown Y along the river. Felt good! But, the story of the day, I got to meet fellow blogger Tracy and family! We hooked up at dinner(which was good), quickly confiscated steak knives from the kids before a sword fight ensued, had a good laugh over internet friendship, and things clicked from there out. The kids were all getting along and it was a good time. We hit a local playground and then topped the evening off with ice cream. Unfortunately, Kansas decided to show off some thunderstorm action and we went driving straight into some nasty hail and wind and I know Tracy and family got hit in town. We drove through most of it but ended up pulling under an overpass for about 10 minutes after the radio started talking about an area of rotation nearby and the second set of hail was starting to hit the windshield. After that it was just rain getting home and then we popped out of all the storms and made it safe. | |

| | 8:10 AP. First super long run since the injury. It felt pretty great! Met up with Eddy at the GoRun store, ran to Sedgwick County Park, ran 3 outer loops and saw a ton of GoRun people so lots of waving and hollering, and ran back to the store. I practiced carrying my water bottle the whole time and it felt pretty comfortable in my right hand the whole time... balances out the Garmin on my left. Legs held up fine, I think Psycho Wyco will be okay. Having water always available made the heat and humidity much more tolerable! | |
