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.

Soreness is mostly gone, but I still feel it some.  At least I never got too stiff and creaky--this is actually probably the least sore I have ever been after a marathon...surprising. It's a toss-up between my calves and my quads as to what took the biggest beating.  I guess tossing and turning on the cold airport floor all night does wonders for recovery, or maybe it was the two beers and bag of doritos since the bar was the only thing open at midnight at the airport and I was STARVING.  Or, maybe going to work the next night and carrying people up stairs did the trick.  Rode 10 minutes on the bike to warm up, walked a quarter mile, then ran 4 on the mill at 8:34 pace.  I felt good and wanted to run more but want to be cautious.  Did some situps and pushups afterward.

Went to the Y with Vanessa.  6 at 8:34 pace on the mill then 1 on the indoor track.  Legs are dead but not sore.  I'm sure that feeling will persist, which is fine, since I am not interested in running fast for a little while.

8:49 AP.  The usual stagger between night shifts.  I am deeply contemplating when and where I want to run my next marathon.

8:26 AP.  All easy breezy on my favorite dirt roads except for some pickups on the good part of the good song.  Couldn't help it.
