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: |

| | Limited time so hit the home treddy. Bandera mini hill workout prototype 1.
5 minute warmup, then 3 x (5 minutes 6%, 5 minutes 12%) with 5 minutes between at regular pace. cooldown to 5. Bandera has steep hills, up and down, but also lots of runnable section. I need to learn to switch gears and find the sweet spot for pace and effort that doesn't burn my legs up too fast.

| | Vanessa was sick. fall weather and asthma... so no heading out for a run today and we were both pretty exhausted so I didn't home treadmill it either. I did get a workout in at work--we jogged some warmup laps around the post, then did 10 x 1:30 intervals with 30 seconds rest. First 5 sets were sprint to the curb and side shuffle back, next 3 sets were sprint to the curb and high skips back, last 2 sets were sprint then high knees back. Back and forth, back and forth, but after a few cooldown laps and some serious planks and abs my Garmin measured that we had covered 2.4 miles. Better than nothing!

| | Took my first post-Heartland poke at tempo pace. I start really training and not just playing around next week. I think for Bandera I am going to have to visit threshold pace at least once a week and knock out sub-7 tempos. Ran 3 in the middle today at 6:51, 6:57, 6:45. It actually felt pretty good, but can tell my legs aren't used to it. My training schedule is going to look something like this: one tempo per week around an hour--so 7-9 miles at tempo pace. One Bandera specific treadmill hill simulation per week. Alternate between one long run per week and a few back to backs every other weekend, everything else easy and whatever I can squeeze in. No specific mileage in mind--it all depends on work, the kiddo, and sleep availability.

| | Got coffeed up and hit the singletrack at Miller's Meadow after work. It was chilly and windy this morning--actually had to wear a hat and gloves. Moderately easy pace.
