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: |

early early early am. 7.1 at 8:42 AP. Plan on some more this evening.
pm. 8:34 pace on the treadmill except for the last .1 at 6:00 pace. I was looking at the Prairie Fire(wichita) marathon course map today and counted 68 FREAKING 90 DEGREE TURNS AND TWO HAIRPINS! Is that ridiculous or is it just me? How many minutes is that worth off a time? Not happy. Not happy at all.

| | Tribal hill workout. It rained all morning and cooled the temps way down and it gave me wings. I felt great and had better than ever splits on the hill. 1.37 mile warm up slow. 12 charges up the hill 1:15, 1:20, 1:19, 1:18, 1:19 1:16, 1:17, 1:15, 1:16, 1:16, 1:12, 1:10. Strangely, oxygen debt is much more tolerable and comfortable in cooler temps. Although I was breathing like a freight train I felt okay with it. Did a 13th climb up the hill with Stacy while she finished and then we all jogged 1.37 back to our cars.

4:30 am. 7.12 at 8:52 AP. I don't seem to be having any trouble taking my easier runs easier. More this pm.
7:30 pm 5.22 at 7:51 AP. I meant to go slower, especially since I ran right after eating roast, carrots, potatoes, corn, and jello. The cooler temps just feel so glorious though that I keep accelerating without realizing it. It just feels so good. It feels good to run again. I love it! I must be developing a true ultra stomach.

| | 2:00 pm. 86 degrees. I started running and thinking it didn't feel too bad so I did some impromptu threshold work, 1 mile at 6:42, .25 recovery, another at 6:40, and then I was hot and miserable and desperate for shade and water and managed to stagger my way home 8.28 total at 7:59 AP, then chugged a cup of water and did two on the treadmill at 8:34 pace. Maybe I will redeem myself with a little marathon pace work tomorrow. | |

| | Nice medium-length run today and over 70 for the week. Started out with the tribe chatting for 7.18 mile warm up 9:45, 8:49, 8:26, 8:56, 9:16, 8:58, 9:14, .18 @ 8:42 pace. Gobbled down a Vanilla gu and some water then started my 4 mile marathon pace tempo 6:56, 6:55, 6:44, 6:40--ummm probably not really MP but felt decently comfortable so went with it. Cooled down brisk 7:46, 7:21, last .91 at 7:06 pace. Felt great today! Maybe I am just on a runner's high but that sub-3 in Houston; today I believe it. | |
