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.

I totally intended to just crosstrain and do some lifting today.  I started out at the East Y with 5k of rowing, then went and piddled in the weight room with upper body weights but I kept looking longingly outside because it was gorgeous and sunny and not terribly hot with a cool breeze.  When the good songs started playing on Pandora I could take it no more.  I snapped and was out the door for a very easy 5.  I'm really not that sore.

Am. 6 ez on the treddy then 30 minutes core

Pm. Speedwork with Gorun at the track. I knew it wouldn't be pretty and it wasn't, but busted me out of the 9 minute rut for a change. 2 mile warm up, 5 x 1200 in 4:38, then 4:46 for the next 3, dunno on the 5th. 1 mile cooldown. No soreness, legs r just dead.

Nice between-shift afternoon run. Humid but only 77 degrees and overcast. Started out creaky and weightlifting-sore(not running sore), but after about 5 miles felt pretty good.
