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: |

| | Needed this! Met up with Marcus and Jared and headed west to run the Kingman Hills. 8 miles out and 8 miles back on dirt with lots of rollers, some long, some short, some steep, some not so steep. Went out 8 fairly easy but brisk, then turned around and dropped the hammer. The last 8 were all in the 6:30's and 6:40's, and we could still talk so very pleased. The point was to make 6:40-6:50 pace on a flat course feel easy, and after this it should. Good confidence boost, feeling a little more hopeful for sub-3 in two weeks.

| | Had a really hard time getting out of bed today, my throat is sore, definitely coming down with the usual pre-marathon cold. Parked at Vanessa's school and went around 6.5 ez. Spent some quality time in the weight room at the Y afterward.

I have officially come down with a little upper respiratory bug, the one I always get before a marathon, at least it is now and not next week. Felt pretty exhausted yesterday so took the day off. Still tired today but met up with Marcus for a nice evening 9 miler. We didn't wear watces but ran the last mile at what I thought was my marathon pace. Felt good while running, back to hacking when it was over. I am definitely in taper mode a little prematurely, but this is probably the first time I have ever had something to truly taper from, definitely my heaviest training cyle ever the last 3 months. In retrospect it has been a lot to ask from a single working Mom, so if my body wants to rest now, I am going to let it!!

| | Easy on the home treddy. Body feels light and good. I am starting to feel good. Sub-3, a win, and $2000 would feel really good.
