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: |

| | 7:31 AP. Treadmill tempo success! Put my daughter down for a nap and went for it. Today's music selection was Korn:"Issues", which surprisingly was good for concentrating and relaxing into the tempo. Warm up 3 miles ranging from 8:00 to 8:34 pace 4 mile tempo 6:40, 6:40, 6:40, 6:35 --surprised at how in control I felt after 3 miles I picked it up a notch for the 4th mile. It promptly started to hurt, but was survivable. 2 mile cooldown from 7:30 to 8:34 pace I am thinking right at 6:40 pace is my lactate threshold right now

| | 7:57 AP. Ran down county line road and into town, ran through town, circled the track a few times, and then ran home. It was 24 degrees but I really enjoyed the cold, even with the 15mph headwind all the way home. David met me about 7 miles in with some hot chocolate. Perfect! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! | |

| | 8:21 AP. Sluggish this morning, which may have something to do with the champagne last night. 20 degrees and dark(it was early) so I drove into town and ran in the eery silence. | |

| | 7:32 AP. 16 mile progressive run. Evidently a large thanksgiving dinner with a lot of pie is my optimal day-before-long-run fueling strategy, because I felt great. Didn't look at my watch, no drink or fuel stops--just ran. I was definitely working at the end but felt strong. Splits 8:53, 8:07, 8:06, 7:57, 7:59, 7:48, 7:22, 7:26, 7:18, 7:18, 7:25, 7:15, 6:58, 6:59, 6:57, 6:45 | |
