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: |

| | Hills and heat! Ran at 6pm with the tribe. 10 hard repeats up the hill, jogging down for recovery. My splits were better than the last time we did this workout, and last time we only did 8 repeats so maybe I am getting stronger. 1.39 warm up slow 1:13, 1:19, 1:21, 1:19, 1:20, 1:21, 1:18, 1:19, 1:19, 1:19 2.47 cool down, including two more jogs up the hill.

7:46 AP. Impromptu threshold workout. First, eat a heavy lunch at Red Robin with my mom. Next, put the kids down for a nap. Then, search wildly for any music besides the Powerpump CD again and find....Totally Hits 2002. I leap on the treadmill. 2 mile warm up at 8:34 pace 2 miles FHP at 6:49 pace 1 mile recovery 8:34 pace 2 miles FHP at 6:49 pace 2 mile cool down starting at 8:34 pace and eventually speeding up to get it over with. Done. 6:49 pace was a little hard because my legs were tired from last night's hill workout but aerobically it was very manageable. I think I could do a tempo run at this pace on fresh legs without totally dying. Will do a few more easy this pm while watching David do Plyometrics X(evil laugh) pm: 6 ez at 8:34 pace. watched David and Brandon have a near death experience with Ploymetrics

| | 8:13 AP. Dreadmill while Brandon and David did p90x. I'm really proud of them! David is so sore but he is keeping at it and is determined. I kept it easy but was pretty much sick of the treadmill. Hoping to have a good speed workout tomorrow. | |

| | Speedwork with the tribe. I struggled a bit in the humidity and legs were a little tired. I was glad I was there with the group so I didn't give in to any temptation to throw in the towel. Warm up, 12x400 with 400 recovery, cool down in sock feet on the fake grass. Splits were similar to last time I did 400's so I guess I can't complain. Averaged 5:37 pace for the 400s. 1:22, 1:26, 1:24, 1:26, 1:25, 1:26, 1:26, 1:23, 1:22, 1:25, 1:25, 1:22

| | 8:34 AP nice and easy on the treadmill. I am getting serious about my recovery days now. Only had time to run for an hour and now I have things to do. Long run tomorrow, early in the morning. Me and my sister are officially in the Houston lotto! |

| | 7:32 AP. Started at 5:30 am with Eddy. He was on a mission, and I hung on for 11.5 miles, at which time I had to back off the pace a little and let him go. Still a good run, although I was worn out and kinda death marched the last two miles. I definitely do better starting out conservative and speeding up at the end, rather than killing myself in the first half of the run! Still, managed an overall average pace for 19 that is a slightly faster than my PR marathon pace. I find this slightly encouraging. Splits so you can see my rough finish: 7:50, 7:50, 7:50, 7:23, 7:17, 7:09, 7:10, 7:07, 7:08, 7:19, 7:20, 7:25, 7:38, 7:37, 7:42, 7:38, 7:53, 8:00(ouch), 7:37, last 75 feet at 5:28 pace! | |
