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: |

| | ten miles in 1:29:55. I really wish I would have eaten some breakfast first, because this was harder than the last time I did 10 miles. I felt tired and dead the last 3 miles or so and I think I just needed some fuel. Breathing was fine, just my legs were dead. I had water at 5 miles and that was it. | |

| | 5.4 in a very relaxed 51:18--recovery from yesterday's 10-miler, which left me feeling quite sore in the evening but this morning I felt fine--I made myself run slow and relaxed anyway. I did have a side stitch in the second mile that got quite painful, and had to stop and walk for a minute and stretch it out. Now it's off to cleaning and getting ready for work--my sister and brother-in-law will be in town today--I can't wait! My brother-in-law has never met my daughter!--it has been that long since I've seen him-- | |

| | 5 miles pushing the pace in 41:37--8:19 pace. I was happy with that, but would really like to get to tempo runs at 8:00 pace. Came back home and ran one more with Jesse(my 13 year old) in 10:30. He is interested in running a little bit so we will start out with a mile a day and go from there. It would be really good for his self-esteem if he really gets into it. Jesse REALLY needs a self-esteem boost. I really really hope he stays interested in running with me. If he does then I will get him in a race and run with him...that would be GREAT. | |

| | Happy Thanksgiving! I have to work today so our family is celebrating tomorrow, but me and my partner at work are going to pick up our ambulance and then sneak around town to a few places and eat--my partner's parents are cooking up a bunch of food right in our area so we will spend some time over there this afternoon(unless we get a call). Anyways, today was a GREAT run. I woke up thinking today was the day, and it was. I drove into town, warmed up two miles, ditched my gloves and sweatband because I was getting warm, jogged down to the track, and did 1600 meters HARD. Time--6:52. So there it is, my first sub-7 minute mile in over 12 years. I felt in control for the whole mile so that was nice. Jogged a few more miles, then went home and got Jesse. Ran a mile with Jesse and talked, and then came home. There is a 4 mile race next weekend I think I want to do, and there is also a 1 mile at the same event, so I will see if Jesse is interested. I was thinking I would race the 4 mile and then run the mile race with Jesse(or in his dust, however it works out!) | |

| | My feet and ankles feel a little sore today. Ran 5.4 very easy, then went and got Jesse and did 2000 meters on the track. Jesse has decided he wants to run the mile in the jingle bell run next weekend, so we are going to go sign up! | |

| | I had a running appointment today with Rachelle at 7am. I got there early and ran 4 miles, and then ran 2.2 with Rachelle. She is just starting up running after many years and two babies. She had to stop and walk briefly a few times but she powered on through. She really pushed herself--I'm proud of her! We are going to run together again next week. | |
