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.

8:07 pace. Repeat of yesterday...may the back to back long runs begin. I worked, got off, and ran. I actually felt pretty good today, much better than I thought I would. I had the company of Shelby for the first 13 and that helped a lot. Off to bed, one more night shift and the weekend workarunathon will be over.

Went to the Y with the intention of only doing some core and weights but after 50 minutes meandered upstairs and did a little easy run on the treadmill.  I seem to get stiff and creaky if I take a day completely off.  Legs feel good.

Track got cancelled with thunderstorms raging  through, so me, Nick, Kacie, and Jacob met up at the downtown Y to piece together a speed workout.  The indoor track is 6 laps per mile(huge track!), so we decided on a ladder of 2-4-6-4-2 laps at 6:00 pace(1:00 per lap)  with one lap walk in between to re-group.  I settled in off of Jacob's shoulder and we basically nailed 6:00 pace except the last set of two laps we dropped to 5:20 pace to bring it home.  4 mile warmup, 1:58, 4:00, 5:59, 4:00, 1:46, 1 mile cooldown.  We basically had a single file conga line dodging traffic around the track.  kinda fun!

met up with Fernando in the morning after work at the downtown Y and we ran along the river all the way to scp, then around the perimeter of scp and back.  I picked it up a little the last 10k into the low 7s and felt pretty comfortable.  Overall a decent run for being tired and in the nasty humidity and heat.
