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.

8.43 mile casual bike ride with my husband.  We really enjoyed it.  I was hauling Vanessa in the bike trailer so on the uphills I had to work a little.

8:25 average pace.  did one little fast .3 at 6:07 pace.  Still not ready to run fast for a prolonged period of time.  What's up with the weight gain???  It's been going up since the marathon and I swear I haven't started to eat bad all of the sudden or anything.  Alright, no sweets and lots of water and hopefully it goes away.  I am thinking it is water weight.

10 minutes abs with Denise Austin

8:15 average pace.  Felt really good running today.  Ran 1.25 in the middle at 6:55 pace. Felt pretty comfortable--the first time I have ventured a sub-7 since the marathon.  I think I will run the 10-mile in the turkey trot on the 21st.

8:20 average pace. Ran without music.  Felt really good.  I have had good runs all week.  I think I will run with music half the time and half the time without.

8.08@8:14 average pace, with the last .3 at 6:48 pace.  Felt good.  Wow I have felt really great on all my runs this week--hope it lasts!  I have a bike ride, lunch, and movie with my husband to celebrate my birthday a few days early since I will be gone all weekend on clinicals and then have to work all next week.  I'm also going to run this evening with my cousin-in-law Jenny so this is just a triple-workout kind of day.  So, a little birthday reflection here, 30 IS the new 20, my 30th year was outstanding!  On to 31 and feeling great about it!

noon:  9.5 mile bike ride, some of it vigorous, with my husband.  10 minutes abs with Denise Austin

evening: 5.65 very easy with Jenny.  A couple miles in the 9s, a couple in the 11s, one in the 13s because we walked a little bit.  She is doing really good!

7:54 average pace.  Out of town all weekend doing my clinicals at the Larned State hospital for the criminally insane.  Today was orientation day.  Interesting.  Tomorrow will be even more interesting.  Ran as many as I could squeeze in before it was dark in a strange town.  Now we're at the hotel deciding on supper.  Happy weekend everybody.

8:05 average pace. Did some grassy hills, got a good workout.  Gross day.   This place is insane.  Pedophiles, cannibals, violent gruesome murderers, necrophiliacs.  Not kidding.  One more clinical here tomorrow and then I can go home.  Quite sure that psychiatric nursing is not my gig.
