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.
7:59 AP. i thought this would be rough running in the morning right after work with this nasty cold I have come down with but it was strangely refreshing and energizing.
7:52 AP. 10 easy then 2 fast 6:18, 6:24. I have a nasty cold but the symptoms disappear when I am running. Felt great during the run but now I am wiped out.
6:47 AP. Last time up Veyo on the treadmill before I do it for real next week. .5 mile warm up 8:27 pace. 2.5 miles up 4% grade 7:30 pace. 5 miles down -2% 6:22, 6:18, 6:15, 6:11, 6:07. Getting that feeling in my stomach whenever I think about the marathon now.
10 miles easy with Leann and Angela, no watch, probably around 9:00 pace. Last 4 fast 6:12, 6:31, 6:25, 6:26. Felt good although I still have a cold and can't breath through my nose.
My bib for SGM is 5114. One week!!! taper time starts now
