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: |

| | 7:38 AP. Watched "Without Limits" for the first time and it made me want to go on a run. So I did. Felt good! |

| | 7:54 AP. Dirt roads--county line + 143rd. It was chilly and windy--and it felt awesome! | |

| | 8:16 AP. 19mph wind out of the West, which is unusual wind direction. I watched Chris Solinsky take down the American 10k Record on youtube again--before running. Ran very easy except for one fast-but-controlled mile in 6:27 south through town. Legs felt good. I am starting to feel really really good running again. I swear my body must love the beating because I feel best under piles of miles. I even like the blustery wind now, it wicks that yucky heat off of me. | |

| | 8:12 AP. Another blustery day, but I am beginning to really enjoy it. First 4 miles felt sluggish, than I began to feel really good. I concentrated on good strong push-off on my stride but kept the effort very easy. Last mile in 7:27 with no perceivable increase in effort, although I did have a tailwind! | |

| | 7:48 AP. Yet another windy afternoon run. Mixed route--dirt roads to 170th and back and then two loops in Sienna Ranch. First loop was 1.5 at a comfortably hard pace in 10:04(6:42 pace). I was okay with that. I am just giving my body a heads up for the longer, harder, tempo runs to come. | |

| | 7:07 AP. Had to work late and had very little time so had to make it short and sweet. | |

| | 8:03 AP. 7 miles dirt, 3 miles in Sienna Ranch. Started off at a sluggish 9:00 mile but felt good cranking a 7:24 at the end. Looking forward to an 8k next weekend and I am pinning the butt of my avatar costume for my husband's work party tonight! I guess I'll just wear blue underwear. | |
