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: |

| | Not going anywhere today because Vanessa has pinkeye...so I had time to google research, and, drum roll, I fixed my treadmill !!! So happy I'm not gonna complain about the 10 miles staring at the closet while Vanessa watched a movie with her puffy eye. | |

| | Packed day and Mini still has pinkeye, but I was determined to get something in because I suspect tomorrow I won't be able to. I found a 45 minute window before dropping Mini off and jumped onto the home treddy for a 10s workout.
10 minute warm-up
10 x (45seconds on, 75 off) at 5:27 pace
3 minute jog
10 minutes 6:18 pace
quick cooldown to hit the 6 mile mark
Given the faulty calibration if my home treddy, 5:27 pace is a dead on, cheek-flapping, mind-numbing sprint in which I risk being hurled off the back and facing certain death. It takes the full 75 seconds to regain the courage to risk my life again. 6:18 pace feels like about 6:00 effort, and I was quite taxed at the end. Good little workout.

| | ez on the home treddy. if temps are still reasonable tomorrow at 9 when I drop Vanessa if, it may be time to test the waters in an outdoor tempo. I need a reality check.

| | a.m.: Time to get off the treadmill for a reality check. I dropped Vanessa off at 9 and started this in 79 degrees. 1 mile warmup, 7 mile MP tempo 6:49,6:46,6:45,6:50,6:52,6:52,6:58, 2 mile cooldown. I wish I could report that I was floating effortlessly but that is not the case. It was not an epic struggle, first 4 miles were actually super easy, but the tide turned fast and I was working harder than I would have liked in the last 3. Nothing to do but keep building fitness. Looking forward to some longer tempos when I can get out earlier in the day.
afternoon. 5.7 very ez around Vanessa's school before it let out
