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: |

| | Met up with Nancy and ran 4.4 easy chatting and catching up. Then I went home and jogged 5 easy on the treddy. Off to dinner with my daughter to celebrate 36 years of being alive. :)

| | Treadmill tempo. Vanessa didn't have school today either and it's been a week since the last tempo day. I set the incline at 1% and got on the less-forgiving mill at the Y to make it a wee bit harder. 1 mile warm-up, 7 at 6:40 pace, 2 mile cooldown.

| | 30 degrees!! first outdoor run in the cold! I went out for an easy trot but felt so good in the coolness I sped up to a high aerobic rate, not quite tempo, but speedy. felt amazing. no watch, but guestimate I was close to the 7 minute gal.

| | aaaarggg extra shifts are hell on me. Still, this post is shared with a fire station and after amping myself up with some coffee at 4am I changed into the jumpsuit and took advantage of fire's workout equipment. 20 minutes on the NES then 6 miles on the treddy bumping speed from 8:34 to 7:00 as I toodled along. This wraps up a pretty lousy week for mileage but as much as I worked, as little as I slept, and as many other demands of my daughter and life put on me, I feel like I fought pretty hard to get the mileage I did!
