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: |

7:22 AP. Treadmill. It was after a long day including a job interview(and job acquisition) at the jail. I will be working in the jail clinic part time. Back to having two jobs--we are in fear of an imminent layoff for my husband so I am getting ready now. I did a home health visit then came home and cleaned house and got the kids squared away with homework and dinner. David was at work late so I finally popped in Wall-E downstairs and ran while the kids watched it. I have never watched the movie and found it's depiction of humans rather disturbing. As for the workout, it was hard. I wasn't feeling it today and it was just plain hard, but now that I stuck it out I am quite satisfied and pleased. 2 mile warm up at 8:34 pace. 3x2 miles at 6:49 pace with .5 at 7:30 pace for recovery(if you want to call that recovery). 1 mile cool down from 8:34 going down to 8:00 pace. I totally deserve to go eat whatever I want now.

am. 6 at 8:15 AP on dirt roads. Legs actually didn't feel too bad from last night.
pm 5.05 7:44 AP in Derby. It is hard to slow down when it rolls up and down so much because my tendency is to push uphills and let it fly on downhills.

| | 8:24 AP. Dirt roads plus one Sienna Ranch loop. Legs are dead and ran pretty slow except for one .33 mile section at 6:35 pace. I hope my legs are not this dead for the race tomorrow but if they are I will at least force a tempo out of it. | |

| | I refuse to call this a race. I have bombed another one and seem to be stuck in tempo mode. I woke up to below freezing temps and lovely 22mph north wind. I'll make this brief. I woke up, ate two cookies and a cup of coffee and drove downtown. I warmed up 1.85 miles with Eddy. The four mile race started and immediately I realized my right shoe was untied. It felt loose and not right but my hands were so cold there was no way I could have stopped and tied it so I ran on. Whoever was supposed to point the right way at the trick part crossing the river a few times evidently abandoned his post, because my group got it all wrong and finally crossed a street with no traffic control to get back down on the path. From talking to folks afterward, there were multiple different versions run of the course. I ended up in a disheartened fourth place with a worse time then last year. 4.04 in 27:41(6:51 pace). My legs were tight and tired. I went in, ate a doughnut, drank some water, found my husband and son, and then jogged .85 miles and lined up for the mile. I ran it in 6:23 and was the first woman to cross the line, but that is a terrible time for me. Next I ate a hamburger. Then I picked up a few medals for winning my age group and the mile, and then we went home. I just ate two more cookies. Nick did a good job running the mile! Overall I'm going to call it a good tempo workout and move on. I plan to run more this evening to offset all the crap I'm eating today. I'm going to keep my eyes on the goal--Houston--and I should actually be tapered and rested for that one. |
