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: |

| | Hauled the kids to the Y for a tired run. 7 on the dreadmill 8:27 pace, nearly died of boredom, then 1 more dodging people on the indoor track. Indoor track is even worse than the mill. |

| | 7:33 AP. It was supposed to be an easy run, and it felt easy, so I suppose this was okay. Ran along the river between ACLS class and work. |

| | 8:16 ap. Easy on the dirt again. I am really tired, and a little humbled. some coworkers who have known me a few years informed my partner that I used to be short, fat, and smoked like a chimney. He was surprised and accidentally told me about it. hah well Im not offended, because it is true, but it sure does remind me where I come from and where I never want to go again. On that thought, I squeezed in a few extra miles today. |

| | speed day. I missed yesterday--between an extra night shift and house showings I did not sleep, and was too exhausted, and simply did not have time. Running would have been pointless. So anyways, I had Vanessa today so we went to the Y and I hit the mill. 7.25 mile warm up 8:20 to 8:27 pace, then 3 x 1 mile repeats in 5:56, 5:56, 5:52 with quarter mile recoveries at 9:13 pace, although I didn't get the full quarter mile because I started ramping up treadmill speed early. Then I got on the indoor track and ran a few more to cool down including 4x50 meter sprints. I felt good during the repeats, could've done more and probably will next week. Aerobically they are honestly not too bad, it's just my legs seem to wear out before my lungs bust. |
