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.

7:55 AP.  Up at 4:30 and trotting through the streets of Rose Hill.  Already 82 degrees and soupy humidity.  I am heading to Oklahoma City with my mother shortly--it will be a tiring day.

Tribal hills.  It was...humid.  1.37 mile warm up.  We did short hill charges up the steep part of the hill.  10 vomit-in-your-throat killer charges; in the neighborhood of 30 seconds each. No splits, we decided to run "pure".  Once we had gotten our stomachs and lungs back into their rightful places we ran a few to cool down.  I am a little tired from spending the morning in front of you tube learning the Jai Ho breakout dance done in the cafeteria at 'ol Miss.  Plans for a surprise breakout dance with my mom, sister, and cousins at a family function are in the works...

8:34 AP.  103 degrees. no shade.  Got home and got a phone call that my grandfather took a turn for the worse.  They had to do CPR but got him back.  Things are not looking good.  My poor Grandma--her sister and husband less than one week apart is just too much.  I am hoping to hear some miraculous good news soon.

Dear Poppie,  

We miss you terribly.  It is beautiful here in Santa Maria. I thought a lot about you while I ran.  I know you liked to walk these streets.  We went to your favorite store, Trader Joe's, today.  We couldn't stay long because we were breaking down.  They gave Grammy some flowers in honor of you since you shopped there so much.  I found some chocolate seashells, not the ones we loved, but the closest thing they now carry.  Thanks for coming to see me in Kansas so much--my wedding, my first marathon, to meet your great-grandchildren.  I wish I would have come here sooner.  We can't stop thinking about you.  I love you.
