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: |

| | Tired from work and it was rainy and windy so I went to the East Y for my favorite crosstraining activities. 250 floors on the NES, which was kicking my butt--I could feel tiredness in my legs for sure and made the usual sweat waterfalls. Then I shook it off with a little 2 mile jog on the dreadmill and wrapped it up with about 10 minutes of ab exercises that worked me pretty hard and headed home for one more night of work before a day off!

| | Started in a crisp 30 degrees running a little over an hour. Drove to Cessna stadium afterward and ran 4 x 4 ascents with half mile jog every 4 climbs on the bleachers. It wasn't bad...maybe less running next time. | |

| | Home treddy. It was supposed to be an easy run considering the stadium bleachers yesterday but I couldn't take the boredom so ended up doing 20 x 1 minute on/off --5 at 7:30 pace, 5 at 6:00, 5 at 6:40, then 5 more at 7:30. Not really a workout but kept me pressing buttons and wasn't too stressful.

| | 8:10 ap. Quiet Thankgiving today. I was too tired after work and went straight to bed, but set the alarm in enough time to get up and have some cofffee before heading out for a run. My Mom is out of town and my kiddo is at her Dad's house so might as well get a good longish run in. Off to work. Everybody be safe tonight!

| | Home treddy. I'm pooped from work and then skipping sleep for Thanksgiving lunch. It was really nice though, Chris's Mom cooked and we all had a nice get together. Totally just want to get in bed and sleep for a week though! I will catch up tonight, some kind of treadmill mischief awaits me at the Y tomorrow after laundry. I hate coin laundry, btw. I love love all my great friends and family. I am grateful for them and grateful for my precious daughter that makes me want to be a better person. | |

| | Random speedwork day. I slept in, then had laundry, which led to the ymca tome crunch. I skidded in just in time for 6 miles at 6:40 pace, no warmup, 1% incline, before kidzone closed. Didn't feel like that was enough, so went home and immediately hit the home treddy for part two. 10 minute warmup 4 x 45 secs on/ 75 off 5:27 pace 2 minute jog 4 x 60 on/off 5:56 2 minute jog 4 x 90 on/60 off 6:15 Cooldown to 6 miles. All in all it was invigorating to move a little faster! | |
