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.
7:49 ap. nice and easy along the river except at the end I was itching and picked it up about half a mile then sprinted the last block. I kept pace with the car that drove the block. that was kinda fun!
6:48 ap. treddy hills! I am going to keep doing these workouts, I think they make my legs strong and build legspped and turnover. .5 warm up 8:27 pace, 2.5 up 4%5 7:30 pace, 5 down -2% 6:22, 6:18, 6:15, 6:11, 6:07. felt good to get my legs moving.
Hit the crazy early circuit today. 2.29 at 10:00 pace with my oldest(who showed up for this at 3:30am!) then 5.78 more on my own 8:30 pace. Off to a busy day.
8:31 ap. 4:45am. started at 9:00 pace, sped up only slightly, then ounched the last mile at 6:00 because I was running out of time. felt good to go fast.
7:44 AP. Paced my buddy Carlos through his last 20 miler before New York. We ran the first 15 7:50ish pace then dropped into the 7:20s and 7:30s for the closing 5. Great run. Good to catch up with Carlos and good to see him running so well and fixing to PR bigtime.
