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: |

Inspire Hope 8k (5 Miles) 00:33:37, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1 | | I never run well in the first month after a marathon and today was no exception. Warmed up 2.63. First mile 6:19,calves were tight and acid-ey, and minced along the next 4 at marathon pace. I did get to win and get $100 so can't complain, but am chagrined over the time. Cooled down 5 miles. I will try not to pay too much mind to this race but geeeez! McMillan says I should've run it under 31:00 bwahahaha! | |

| | 7:32 AP. My legs felt awesome today. It was windy but cool and sunny and I felt amazing, even in the wind . Last mile in 6:33. Felt like I was floating. My legs haven't felt this awesome in a long time. | |

| | 7:14 AP. 3 mile warm-up, 3 fast-but-controlled 6:09, 6:23, 6:20, 2 mile cooldown. Now why on earth could I not run this pace in a race 4 days ago?! I guess it really was a rustbuster. Legs seem to be really waking up now. | |

| | 7:00 AP. My car broke. David dropped me off at work at night, and I ran home in the morning. I didn't intend on running this fast, but I was eager to get home and get to bed, and once I settled into a good rythm in the eerily quiet cold and dark, I was charging steadily home. / I was pretty okay aerobically at sub-7 pace, although my legs were getting tired at the end. Course was fairly flat, some running on gravel on the shoulder when I got out of the city into the county. I'm surprised and pleased that it came out like this, and am feeling pretty good about a sub-3 on a flat course in spring. Splits 7:43, 7:22, 7:21, 7:17, 7:12, 6:52, 7:08, 6:53, 6:56, 6:49, 6:38, 6:42, 6:51, 6:58, 6:45, 6:38, last .25 at 6:23 pace. | |
