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: |

Johnston's half (13.2 Miles) 01:32:03, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1 | | Major underperformance. Pace bleeding started at mile 8 and at mile 10 my legs were just dead. I could not get them generate any power whatsoever and my miles slipped over 7 minutes. I also had this anxious panicky feeling in my chest. I could breathe fine but the palpitations were kinda scary.
I don't really know what is wrong. I broke down and weighed and that's not it, I'm still within decent range. I am getting serious about pounding iron and eating lots of fruits and vegetables. I'm also pitching heavier weights and going for functional core movements and plyometrics. I hope it works and I shake the dead legs before Heartland.

| | staggered 28 loops around the post at 4am. Haven't even slept since the last run. This is my pattern. Gung-ho, train hard for a few months and then the sleep deprivation and stress gets me and I crash for a month, then I get motivated and have a few good races and go for it again, and then I get tired and crash again. Repeat cycle. Trying really hard not to crash right now because Heartland is looming. I confess, I'm sorta jealous sometimes and wanna feel sorry for myself that I can't train the way I would really like to, nor will I ever be able to.

| | rought night at work. death and destruction. Unfortunately, it hit home for friends and coworkers x 2. Squeezed in 5 miles of loops around post 6 in the wee hours, then got Vanessa off to school and ran 17.5 more, although I had a longish stop about 1 mile in to field an important phone call about said death and destruction. Tired. Lydiard's solution to dead legs is long slow distance, so that's what I did today!

| | Finally got a good night's sleep. Working on some last minute functional work for the Flint hills at the Heartland 100. 3 weeks!! Me and Nessa went to the East Y. 5 minutes ez on the mill plus 1 at -2% and 5:56 pace, then hopped on for 30 minutes of leg-burning on the never-ending stairs, then a little bit of core. Last pair of back to back long runs next weekend and then TAPER.
