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: |

| | 8:39 average pace. Ran easy in town. Did 4 miles easy and then jogged onto the track. They were setting up for some event so I jogged a lap and then did one 200 meter dash from a standstill in a very unimpressive 34 seconds. That's okay--I'm still going to break 19 in the 5k :). Anyways off to a busy clinical day. Longish run tomorrow. |

| | 8:42 average pace. Took it easy, drank gatorade 3 times. It is already 76 degrees and humid whens starting at 6am. Tomorrow will be tricky to get a run in. I have to leave town by 430am to get to my clinical in Salina at 630am, do a 12 hour clinical, spend the night there, do another 12 hours the next morning, then drive home. Maybe one hour of running from 3am to 4am? It depends on what time I get to bed and if it is storming in the morning or not. Any way you cut it tomorrow is going to start ridiculously early. |

| | 8:09 average pace. Had a hard time falling asleep last night and decided to take the extra hour rather than run in the morning. Worked out well because we were released from clinicals early so I decided to drive home rather than stay the night. Drove to my mother's house to pick up my daughter, who was napping, so I went on a run on the city sidewalks in Wichita. Ran through some nice neighborhooods. It was drizzly and humid, but only about 78 degrees. I don't much care for running on concrete, it is too much pounding, but it does make for a faster pace with less effort. I will stick to my soft dirt roads tomorrow evening when I make it back into town. Got to spend all day in NICU and actually really enjoyed my clinical in there today. Cuddling and feeding tiny babies all day is fine with me! Gotta get to bed soon cuz tomorrow is another 4am morning. |

| | 8:49 average pace. 7pm. 87 degrees but not too humid, so not a bad run. I was really tired from my long day but felt okay once I got going. No 4am tomorrow morning, mercifully. Ah sleep here I come! |

| | 8:56 average pace. Still tired and taking it easy. Tomorrow is my nightmare day and then my busy week will be over at last. It will start with an all day clinical in pediatrics and then straight from clinical to an all night shift in downtown Wichita otherwise known as crack alley so it will be busy on Saturday night, I am thinking a nap today and a full night's sleep tonight is on the menu. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! |

| | 8:47 average pace. Yeah--made it through another 60 mile week. Have a 16 miler planned for Monday. I wonder how Julie is doing in her half-marathon right now. Run Julie Run! Anyways off to enjoy breakfast with my children before I spend a clinical day in pediatrics, then after that a night shift at post 10. I will be rolling into bed half-dead tomorrow morning. |
