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.

am.  8.04 at 8:12 AP, dirt roads.  It was 18 degrees.  I though the tights and underarmour with shirt and shorts over would be enough but my skin was angry red, itchy, and mottled afterward on my chest, stomach, and thighs.  It is getting very close to time to break out the fleece.

pm. 6 at  8:18 pace on the treadmill.  Mostly slow except for the last .35 at 6:40 pace because of the JC Chasez "Blowing me up " song.  Very dance-y.  Day 2 of cleaning up my diet.  I've been in a funk but the cookies and beer have got to go because I am quite sure I have put on a few pounds--my clothes don't lie.  8 weeks until Houston so I've got enough time to get mega-healthy and at a good race weight.  Hopefully I feel better too!

7:52 AP.  Intention was 3x2 but my legs were so very tired that I realized after the first set of two it would be wise to back off and not overstress and get an injury. This was on the treadmill while Vanessa chose to watch Wall-E, again.  You know how kids get stuck on a movie and want to watch it over and over?--well, for Vanessa it is Wall-E, which is not exactly good running viewing.  Anyways I warmed up slow 2 miles, did 2 at 6:49 pace and realized that between Saturday and heavy mileage yesterday I was just not ready to do this today.  Slowed down to 7:30 pace, then slowed down more to 8:34 pace, made it to mile 6 and in a sort of rebellion did one more in 6:49, then slowed down for the last 3 miles.  Sweat levels were off the charts today, especially for me.  Now it gets funky, when I stepped off the treadmill I felt sick and the room started spinning. I leaned over the stairs for a minute until I felt a little more steady, and then curiousity got the best of me.  I stumbled my foggy head out to the car and got my glucometer out of the nursing bag.  Is it low blood sugar? Nope, 116--my body is doing a most excellent job of releasing adequate sugar into my bloodstream.  I chugged a few glasses of water but by then I was already feeling much better.  Made a banana milkshake with frozen banana, milk, and egg and drank it and now I feel perfectly fine.  Strange.  I am almost wondering if it was motion sickness from the treadmill and watching the movie.

pm. 3.03 miles in 7:48, 7:09, 7:07--just needed to get outside and run and it felt good.  squeezed this one in really quick before Nick's concert then took a superfast power shower and went and watched Nick and his classmates sing Christmas songs.  Oh the season of kid's Christmas programs has begun.

8:11 AP.  started at 8:34 miles and worked my way down--whenever my knuckle hit the console I knew it was time to speed up.  My husband did some p90x and when he was done, so was I!  Day 4 of eating right and I feel good.

am. 8 at 8:34 pace on the treadmill, nice and easy.  I have to run really easy until Saturday because my faithful-best-running-buddy-ever Eddy has agreed to run 18 at 5am Saturday with me(since I am on call and have a better chance of running call-free early), and I know he will push the pace and for once I am going to try really hard not to whine and just keep up.

pm. 5.04 at 7:42 pace, mostly in Sienna Ranch

7:32 AP.  Got up at 4:10, drank some coffee, and ate a piece of peanut butter toast.  Roaring through the streets with Eddy by a little before 5.  Once again, ran straight through with no stops for water or fuel.  Eddy is nursing a sore achilles so I actually got a little mercy today.  The run is nothing to write home about, but I have just completed my first 80 mile week ever.  Day 7 of eating right.  Splits 8:41, 8:07, 8:00, 7:36, 7:35, 7:42, 7:25, 7:19, 7:27, 7:27, 7:31, 7:29, 7:25, 7:12, 7:16, 7:14, 7:07, 6:55, last little bit at 6:23 pace.
