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: |

| | 7:24 AP. Waited until everyone was asleep then drove the to the well-lit neighborhoods of Derby for an easy run. I meant to run easy, and this felt easy in the cold, starry night. I love winter running, and I enjoyed the night running. Felt sooo good.

| | 8:28 AP. Yesterday I let everything get to me and got myself so depressed I just laid on the couch and didn't do anything. I picked up the phone like 5 times to just call somebody and there really wasn't anyone to call. My sweet little daughter shined. She took care of me all day. She is the most resourceful 4 year old in the whole entire world. So, after a night at work and a little bit of sleep today, I feel immensely better, and I enjoyed my chilly run in what was left of the first snow of the year. | |

| | 8 mile loops by my house, no watch. Halfway through the second one a big row of grass fires had lit up all down 150th on my route. I rung my neighbors doorbell and he came running with a rake and I used his phone to call the fire department. I only got to run a couple more loops through smoke and flames before they had it out. Bummer. It was kind of exciting. | |

| | 8:34 AP. Basement treadmill. Felt okay after laying on the couch most of the day and sleeping off last night. Went to the paramedic school graduation party and ended up, well, annihilated. It was fun. | |

| | 7:16 AP. Fighting hard through lack of sleep and lack of time this week. It will be the same next week too, well, the rest of this month. Went to the Y with the family and hit the treadmill. 2 mile warm up 8:27 pace. 8 x 1/2 mile with 1/4 mile recovery. 1/2 mile paces were 5:52 for the first 4 and 5:49 for the second 4. Recovery pace 9:13 in between. Cut the recoveries a little short to make sure the treadmilll was ramped all the way up to speed for the repeats. Off to work. | |

| | 7:35 AP. Squeezed another one in. Gonna make it through this month without getting completely out of shape. I'm determined. This pace feels easy, either though I have put some stress weight on. My jeans are tight. Grrrr | |
