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: |

| | Paced the 1:45 group today at the Johnston's half, a total blast, Me and my pacing partner Lacy had a pretty huge group, about 10 miles in a few broke out ahead, a few stayed with us, and a few fell back. When we hit the final mile Lacy stayed on pace and I went back for few stragglers that were in striking distance, was able to push one back up and she made it, highlight of my day! Did a 5 mile mp tempo afterward 6:43, 6:45, 6:45, 6:40, 6:42 and felt decent. still waiting to hear back about the Boston marathon...

| | 10 recovery. I am going to try and back it down some this week, enough to get my listless tired legs back under me for a decent half on Sunday.

| | After cleaning house and doing laundry, meandered out about noon. Was just mindlessly running around the East side of town when I spotted Nancy with the stroller... ran over and finished her last few miles with her then jogged my way down to the East Y, did an hour of core and weights, then jogged home. Legs still feel dead and I feel fat, really hope to shake all that off by Sunday, since I am officially registered for the half-marathon. The course should be pretty flat and mostly pavement so should run fast if I can just get my head in the right place! Excited for Boston in April, if I blow it this fall then Boston is my second chance.

| | Easy on the treadmill with a few surges at 6:18 pace to see how it felt. It feels alright when I relax. I am feeling better, have been eating vegetables and not getting on the scale. I am looking forward to running hard on Sunday!
