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: |

| | 6:57 AP. Treadmill at the downtown Y. I am sunburned and my skin needed a break. I figured if I was on the mill I would do hills and make it interesting. 1mile warm-up 1% 8:34 pace. 1 mile up 4% 7:30. 2 down -2% 6:22, 6:22, 1 mile up 4% 7:30, 2 down -2% 6:22, 6:22, then 6:40 to cool down and get my climbing heart rate down. It didn't feel easy like the last time I did a similar workout but it was by no means miserable either. -2% is the steepest the treadmill goes for down. | |

| | 8:25 AP. 86 degrees, 61%. Just when I think I am really getting used to heat and humidity I have a day like today where it bugs me. | |

| | Ran at the Y today to get a break from the heat before I run 16 in it tomorrow. 6 at 8:27 AP on the treadmill and then onto the cool, air-conditioned indoor track for two more with no watch including 4x200 meter strides with the last 50 on my toes all-out. Kinda fun. Tomorrow's slog, starting later in the day then I would like, willl probably not be fun at all. According to my smart aerospace engineer friend, who has been calculating the dew points and temps and whatnot, it's like altitude training. That's what I will keep telling myself. | |

| | 7:51 AP. Don't know what it was when I started, but finished at 89 degrees, 71 degree dewpoint, 55%. Fuel was water and half a nutri-grain bar. I ran four loops around the perimeter of Sedgwick County Park on the blacktop. Unfortunately, this does not offer much shade. Still, it wasn't too bad, nothing like my mini-Badwater last weekend. Picked it up the last 4 because I wanted to get it over with. | |

| | Worked all night, came home and rolled into bed at 7, the roofers started at 8. I tried to sleep anyway but Vanessa came into my room and wanted Mommy to get up at 10:30 so I did. About 2:30 got out for my run, 104 degrees, heat index of 111, ran 5 at 8:49 pace then decided it was just too intense for a recovery run and then came in and ran 3 on the treadmill 8:45 pace. Went to Tony's Badwater after party and it was pretty cool to see the buckle, hear the story, and check out the infamous heat box in the garage. 21st at Badwater! We are proud of him! Good times with friends and they had a bouncer for all the kids and they had a blast. Now I'm going to bed. Good night! | |
