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.

easy on the track at the downtown Y.  in one week my banishment to track and treadmill will be over, and I will only have to spend about half my time on the treddy instead of ALL of it

Treadmill hills.  I'm convinced the treadmill is not a realistic representation of overground pace, but still a nice mental boost to help overcome the boredom.  6:47 ap.

.5 warmup 8:34 pace.  3 x (1 mile up 4%, 2 miles down -2%)--(7:30, 6:18, 6:15), (7:24, 6:15, 6:11), (7:19, 6:11, 5:56), .5 cooldown.

I couldn't sleep and got up in the middle of the night to hit the home treddy.  It was dead.  I take back every bad thing I ever said about it.  Crap.

Hit the downtown Y today for my "long" run.  Started at 6:40 pace and was gunning for my usual 15 but about 10 miles in started feeling queasy, which quickly progressed to severe nausea.  I bailed at 11 miles and tried to walk it off but realized I better get Vanessa out of kidzone and head home for private barfing.  Haven't thrown up yet, but stomach is still in uproar.  Not sure what the problem is--coffee and apple for breakfast bad? cheap tv dinner last night bad?  getting a 24 hour bug?  yuck.
