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: |

| | Exhausted. No watch on the dirt roads after 4 refreshing hours of sleep. Legs were dead until about mile 5. Im a little down today. 16 year old in SRS custody. Davids Grandma...died. Broke. Nobody will buy the stupid house we cant afford. Car...broken. Computer...broken. Basement leaking. People...mean. Im glad running is going good. Me and David are going to do like the song and stay up talking all night, drinking cheap wine and smiling although we are close to tears. | |

| | Treadmill at the Y. 7.5 at 8:27 pace then the last .5 at 6:40 pace because the song compelled faster running. I've mention this on facebook, but I will put it here too. David's early birthday present to me was to get my hair done. I wanted to be really blonde so the stylist bleached my hair. Well, she didn't leave it on long before she checked it and was like, whoa, we better wash it off. My hair is white. Not blonde, not platinum, white. Like an 80 year old. I absolutely love it! | |

| | Skipped my intended hill workout for a watchless easy run because I slept wrong and have a bad kink at my neck and between my shoulder blades. I actually felt good during the run ,but think the treadmill would have caused pain. I can barely turn my head side to side or look down. Should make for an interesting night at work. | |

| | 7:08 AP. Treadmill at EMS post 9. The city was quiet at 4:30am, the paperwork done, the post and unit cleaned. I took a risk, and managed to fit the whole workout in without getting a call. It was cool to get it done at work. The treadmill is old and creaky and doesn't go downhill. .5 warm up 8:27 pace. 2.5 miles up 4% 7:30 pace. 1 mile flat at 7:30 pace, then 4 miles at 6:40 pace. Sweated bullets and stunk until my relief came in at 6:00am. | |

| | 7:43 AP. Lots of social running today, had a great time. Got to GoRun early and ran 7 then bumped into Patrick so ran one more with him before hooking into the group. Lots of folks, lots of catching up, ran with a few different groups and then towards the end it was me, Patrick, and Lacy. I did the last two hard 6:24, 6:29. | |
