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: |

| | 8:31 average pace. Original plan was to go longer, but decided to make it a little shorter to make sure I am taking care of my foot, which, by the way, is much much better. Yesterday I had hopped out of bed and walked around a bit before it dawned on me that I had not hobbled and wasn't in pain. Same thing this morning. Can still feel the plantar fascitis but it is about 80% gone. Googled how to tape for PF and taped my foot for my run this morning, slipped in heel gels, and had a great pain-free run. Was tempted to run some faster miles but resisted. Maybe a few sub-7's this weekend if foot is rocking steady. I don't want to do anything stupid before my first half-marathon in 12 days!!! Will probably continue to tape for runs as long as I still feel even a hint of heel/arch soreness. Still running on dirt only. Went to the zoo on Sunday with the kids and had a great time! I haven't been in years and I was just as fascinated as they were! |

| | 8:26 average pace. Found some running shoes on clearance at sports authority so I got them because they felt really good to walk around in. More of a stability shoe but my feet felt good in them and they were great on my run today. My foot likes the extra support I think. Day 2 of no NSAIDs and day two of taping for a run. Felt the same as yesterday. No hobbling this morning :) but still can feel it. I can poke the exact spot with my finger in the middle of my heel right before the arch starts. |

| | 8:37 average pace. About 5 miles into it the tape had formed a blister, ripped the blister open, and was pulling on raw skin so I had this hot spot that was really bothering me on the side of my toe. I figured it would just go numb after a while but it never did so I cut the run slightly short because it was really bothering me. I guess I'm a wimp today! |

| | 7:53 average pace. Felt great, the weather was beautiful, foot felt good, just had to cut loose and run a little brisker so I did. First mile was in 9:00 and last mile was in 7:03. Got the bandaids and tape right so no ripping skin today:) |

| | 8:43 average pace. Took it easy. My foot does not feel as good in the Mizunos as it does in my asics. I think I will avoid the Mizunos for a while. The road grader was out today stirring up all the rocks so I may run on asphalt tomorrow so I don't twist my ankle on freshly graded roads. Yeah it's the weekend and I'm off! |

| | 9:04 average pace. Slow and easy. The roads were squishy from the storm last night but that's okay with me. One week away from my first half-marathon! Only super duper easy miles from here out! |
