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: |

| | 7:53 AP. Lunchtime along the river. Ran mostly easy except the last 4 blocks I sped up a lot to catch up to Adam and say hi. | |

| | Tough day, worked both jobs, was up for over 24 hours, slept for 4, then out into the 90 degree heat and 18mph wind to dry and do 10 easy plus 2 tempo. Felt horrible the whole time. Mile 11 in 6:37, half of mile 12 in 6:51 then jogged the last .5 because I just couldn't hang anymore. | |

| | 6:49 AP. Still tired, but better today. Didn't want to fight the blustery wind or do anything terribly strenuous but wanted to get some leg turnover, so hit the dreadmill. .5 warm up 8:27 pace, 2.5 miles up 4% at 7:30 pace, 5 miles down -2% 6:22, 6:22, 6:18, 6:15, 6:11. Felt pretty good. | |

| | 7:24 AP. Tuesday's bad run is now a distant memory. 50 degrees=wings. I started slow enough but ran into Kevin and picked it up a little and chatted for 6 miles before we parted ways around mile 9. After this I ran happily along. It felt like ffortless floating and I kept drifting to sub 7 pace. At mile 14 I just let it go and cruised the last 4 6:34, 6:25, 6:27, 6:28. I felt totally in control during these miles. too bad I wasnt racing a half, because I think that would have been my pace. I felt so great today! this kind of run is just what I needed. I hope SGM is 50 degrees! | |
