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: |

| | am: 6.12 very slow. I slept in, last day in Houston, and when I got started it was pretty humid and toasty. I had to get off all that Houston concrete, so I scrambed up onto the dyke I had been eyeballing. At some point I lost the dyke and was running cross-country next to some ditch and across some sort of field. I eventually turned around and made my way back. It was definitely nice to be off the roads. Travel this afternoon, about a 50/50 shot of a small evening run on the home treadmill. It has been a nice mini-vacation, and as a bonus, it didn't involve worker's comp.

| | 7:15 AP. Between my little vacation and some emotional eating, I have put on a few pound. It is nothing that can't be taken care of between now and the marathon October 13th if I am disciplined, but discipline when I am having emotional stress is not my strong point. It was good to get some speed in to prove to myself that at least I still could. I did this on the treadmill, didn't want to mess with 100 degrees today.
20 minute warm up
4x90 seconds on/off at 5:27 pace
2 x 1 mile at 6:00, 5:56 with .25 jog in between
3 minute jog
4 x 45 secs on/75 secs off at 5:13 pace
3 minute jog
10 minutes 6:22 pace
cooldown to 11 miles.

| | 7:16 AP. I felt kind tired and sore, but it was in the low 70s with cloud cover and I didn't want to waste a day with good conditions, so I did a long run. started brisk and felt decent so hit a 5 mile MP tempo for miles 6-11 and then slowed back down to brisk because my legs were basically just fried, Splits were all over depending on how I felt at the time. Confidence for sub-3 is not good, it will have to hit on a day I feel good and conditions are decent or it isn't gonna happen.
For fun, splits: 7:56, 7:28, 7:24, 7:20, 7:29, 7:02, 6:49, 6:55, 6:49, 6:48, 6:47, 6:49, 7:48, 7:42, 7:28, 7:17, 7:25, 7:20, 7:12. All around a wishy-washy run.
