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: |

| | Easy, dty indoor track. From now until school starts I will almost always have to run on a treadmill or in circles with my munchkin. It will be long two weeks, running-wise. accepting it and moving forward.

| | East Y. Treadmill speedwork. 2 mile warmup, 8 x 800 at 5:56 pace with 400 recoveries at 9:13 pace. 2 mile cooldown. I struggled so much the first 800 that I seriously considered abandoning the workout. After fighting through the second rep I decided that not all workouts are going to feel good and I am not always going to feel strong, and this was one I could make it through. So, I powered through it--glad I did. It was doable and I don't think I put myself in a hole--it's good to know I can run hard even on a majorly "off" day if I want to.

| | East Y. 8 ez on the treadmill except for one 10-minute stretch at 6:40 pace because I felt briefly frisky. 2k row in 9 minutes flat after to really get the sweat flowing and then piddled around a little with weights and called it good for the day.

| | 6:40 pace. Need to get my back to back long runs rolling this weekend. Kidzone has a 2 hour time limit, so I got myself pscyhed and ready to go, dropped Mini off, dashed up the stairs, and literally leaped onto the treadmill. Set it at 6:40 pace and then tried to relax and forget what was happening. I got on my favorite treadmill under the fan that is probably forgiving on pace but hey, it was one hour and forty minutes of marathon pace effort and rapid leg turnover. I worked up a sweat, burned calories, and survived for my 25 miler OUTDOOORS tomorrow!!

| | 7:55 AP. started with the gorun starttofinish group, got a few miles in with Nick and Fernando, and had Kyle for 21, so only on my own for the last 4. It didn't start getting warm until the end. I just went through about three of my handhelds of water but otherwise didn't fuel and felt fine. I think my body is starting to adapt to back to backs.
