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: |

| | 8:59 AP--treadmill while the kids danced to the power pump CD. I am very very sore. I am just as sore as I am after a marathon. I hobbled around all day and groaned on stairs and wasn't planning to run but decided a slow trot to warm things up might help. It did. After I got past the initial jarring sensations to my quads I began to feel better. Started at 10:00 pace and slowly sped up, eventually booking it at the end to get under a 9:00 average because I am a dork like that. Tribal hill workout is out tomorrow, I am too sore and do not want to flirt with injury. I wasn't planning on being this thrashed after the race but it is what it is so I am going to have to run easy and recover this week so I don't get hurt. Hopefully I have my legs back by next week and can get back to hard training. |

naptime: dreadmill in the basement, 6 at 8:33 pace. Still sore but moving and feeling better. I just need to get these stones out of my quads! Will jog some more easy this evening with the family while they ride bikes. I got new shoes--same nike avants, different color. My husband bought them for me since I won the race and the mileage is racking up on my other avants. I pretty much don't want to wear anything else now because my asics feel like heavy bricks so they are just back-up shoes. I am retiring the pink pegs, now saturated in mud. They were a good pair of shoes and carried me to two wins.
evening: 4.09 at 7:54 AP while the family rode their bikes. It is stinkin' hot. Then I got on my bike and rode 3.3 miles with the family. Legs are sore but runnable.

| | At 7:30 pm it is still 93 degrees and 61% humidity. Geeeeez! 5 at 8:20 pace on the treadmill while my husband worked out then dashed up the stairs and outside for 3 more at 8:03, 8:07, 7:53. I have a cold and while my legs aren't really sore anymore, they are heavy. Felt terrible the whole time. I seem to always get sick after cashing in my chips on a long, hard race. | |

| | 4:30 pm. 6.34 in Derby in the hot miserable heat while Jesse was at his appointment. Yuck. Drove Jesse home and David was at the bank with the kids so I hopped on the treadmill and did 3 more at 7:30 pace. My Garmin died so don't know the pace for the 6.34 but am guessing in the low 8's. | |

| | 7:47 AP. Treadmill. Started at 7.6mph, then started outrunning the treadmill and bumped it up to 7.7mph, then 10mph for the last quarter mile. I think I'm starting to get my legs back. | |

| | 8:11 AP. Showed up early and ran 8.56 by myself at 7:50 pace. Then I hooked in with the tribe and ran 10 more. It was good to see everybody. The heat and humidity are not as oppressive with company! Legs felt pretty good. | |
