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.

Tired.  8 easy on the dirt roads with no watch.  I think this will be an all easy week until the race on Saturday.

7:21 AP.  Tired and stressed and felt super crummy.  Went to the Gorun West store and signed up for the 10 miler Saturday then ran straight North into the wind, slowly, turned around and sped up because I was on a serious time limit to pick up my daughter.  Last 4 6:55, 6:42, 6:34, 6:30.  I was glad I could run that pace when I don't feel good and I'm not trying that hard.

8:16 ap. on my dirt roads at home.  the race Saturday is looking to be super windy.  Raquel Stucky will win~she is a trials qualifier, but I am hoping to have a good day and scrap my way into 3rd.  my gaol time was 65 minutes, but I will just have to run purely tactically if it is windy and not worry about my time.

Kids were sick and by the time I could run it was after bedtime and with a race in the morning there was really no point, especially since I was horridly sleep deprived and exhausted.

20mph winds today with 35mph gusts.  I knew this wasn't going to be pretty timewise.  2.72 mile warm up including some strides, then I lined up.  I felt okay the first 3 or 4 miles but then when we hit the headwind along the river in mile 5 the wheels started wobbling.  After that I just struggled and never really recovered.  Wheels were pretty much off by mile 8.  I hung onto third until the final mile and then got shamefully outkicked and failed to respond.  I thought I was 4th but I guess I was 5th by chip time.  Argh.  Oh well, it's a still a weak PR and a time I can accept in the gale force winds.  Splits 6:26, 6:36, 6:40, 6:41, 7:08, 6:40, 6:51, 6:42, 7:01, 6:39.  I know I've said this before, but it's time to clean up my diet and get back on task.  Part of running well is eating right and I have not, not at all.  Cookies, sugar, ice cream, fried food, beer, wine.  I really need to get it together.
