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: |

couples classic (4 Miles) 00:26:06, Place overall: 22, Place in age division: 1 | | Felt terrible and fat and depressed. Some days. Ran almost dead even splits, very little sleep last night. Me and my buddy Marcus were first in our age group. I was the 4th woman. I guess I have Daddy issues. Anywho, it is amazing how your mood can affect your running. Enjoying the day with my daughter, no more funky mood!! |

| | Indoor track. Tiny bit of core afterward. Weight check. Ten pound reality check. As Joe once said....a bogar I flicked a little too far. I'm sure giving up beer will get rid of a lot of that, plus my cleanse/fast that started at midnight last night. One week, to clear my system of cravings for sugar, alcohol, processed foods etc, and to search out some clarity and discipline. Then onto clean eating and serious training, as well as better spiritual direction. |

| | 7 ez on the home treddy while Vanessa napped with 8 x 1 min on/off going from 6:00 down to 5:34 pace just to touch base with speed. This will be a pretty toned-down week running-wise.

| | Was shaky and needed to function for work, so finally had some homemade wheat bread and a little quinoa last night. Ate a little bread this morning and felt incredibly energized. Hit the treddy for a tempo. 2 mile warm up 3 miles 6:31 pace, .5 jog 2 miles 6:15 pace, .5 jog 1 mile 5:56 pace, 1 mile cooldown This was hard, but it was a confidence boost. Even with the stupid beer weight I am still kinda fit, and when the weight is gone in a month I think I will start reaping some speed benefits in a big way.
pm. 4 ez home treddy. just because

| | 7:46 average pace. This was a steady, tired, dead-legged trot after work. Gets hot and humid quick. At least I got to run the first 6 with my running buddies.
