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: |

| | It was only 47% humidity but it was 91 sunny degrees. Ran a slow 8, no watch, not yet acclimated, had to grab a bottle of water at mile 7 to finish the run. 40 minutes weights and abs after. | |

am: 5 ez shakeout on the indoor track
pm: GoRun track workout. 3/4 mile warm up, then 10 seconds on/10 off, 20 on/20 off....you get the picture...all the way to 90 on/off, a few minutes rest, and then back down the ladder. Lost track of laps so I'm just gonna count the whole thing as 5 but it was probably more. 10 minutes of abs after. | |

| | Dreadmill. 4 mile warm up, 3 mile tempo increasing speed every half mile 6:40, 6:35, 6:31, 6:27, 6:22, 6:18. 3 mile cooldown. Tempo felt surprisingly decent and controlled until the last half mile, that one was a bit difficult, definitely cross some kinda threshold at sub 6:20 pace. still, this is progress. | |
