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.

8:05 AP. It was very humid, but only 80 degrees and overcast, so much cooler then it has been and it felt good.  Ran nice and easy from the downtown Y along the river and back.  Today my one block sprint was 4:12 pace per Garmin.

8:58 AP.  Out of bed at 4:15 for some coffee and a leisurely recovery run.  I am making my trip to the bank and not burning the check, as Sasha would say.  No aches or pains from yesterday's workout.  Thinking about a 4 mile race on  Monday in lieu of the weekly hill workout.  Thoughts?

7:54 AP.  Another early morning, but not as early---5:45!  I started out at my usual crawl but before the first mile had passed caught sight of something I NEVER see out in the sticks, another runner...cruising down the dirt road ahead of me!  I sped up and caught up to him, and we ran about 2 miles together before branching off.  He's training for an ironman.  Turns out I know his daughter from several years ago...small world!  Felt like beating the 8:00 girl since I was close so did the last mile in 6:51.

7:53 AP.  79 degrees. 59% humidity.  5 am.  After that bottle of wine with my husband late last night to celebrate our anniversary, I really should have felt crummy.  Not so.  I felt great.  first mile in 9 minutes, next 3 slow, by mile 5 had dipped under 8:00 pace and the rest after 6 were 7:30s and 7:40s.  Not on purpose---this I just saw when I checked my splits afterward.  I ran very comfortably but not so slow as recovery pace and enjoyed the sights and sounds of country roads in the early morining.  Carried my water bottle and took 2 shotblock squares along the way.
