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: |

| | 6:45 AP. A little more up, a little more down today. Treadmill at the Y. .5 mile warm up 8:27 pace. 2.5 miles 4% incline 7:30 pace. 5.87 miles -2% decline until my one hour limit 6:27, 6:22, 6:18, 6:15, 6:11, 6:07. This wasn't hard until about the last two miles it began to feel like a tempo run.

8:29 AP. From the downtown Y along the west side of the river and back--a little more shade for the sticky 91 degrees.

| | Track trial day. A storm blew through last night and cooled things off to 75 this morning, but the humidity was 94%. My quads were a little heavy from Tuesday still, but since running fast on a track is more about my hamstrings and butt they really weren't an issue. 1 mile warm up 9:01. 3 miles in 19:12, 12 seconds faster than last week, but splits were dismal. I started too fast and promptly died and struggled for the rest of the run. 1:30, 1:32, 1:34, 1:36, 1:36, 1:37, 1:36, 1:38, 1:39, 1:39, 1:38, 1:33. 4 mile cool down 8:16 AP. | |

| | 8:33 AP. Ran in the morning after work on the dirt roads by home. They were pretty muddy from the storms that rolled through last night. I enjoyed the cooler temps again but the humidity was crazy. It was fun to have my legs that dirty after a run. | |

| | 7:48 AP. I took the privilege of sleeping in through the morning thunderstorm and got started on the back end of it. The drizzly 78 degrees felt really good. I ran on the dirt roads around home but did run through to the end of town and back on the sidewalk. I had my usual 9:02 opening mile and ran pretty slow the first 8 miles and then picked it up a bit, settling into a pace that was aerobically easy but kept the leg turnover strong, which ended up being right around 7:20ish to 7:30ish pace. Felt great! | |
