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.

7:52 average pace.  Had a good Sunday, had a good weekend with the kids and my hubby.  Felt pretty refreshed this morning.  Today I feel the relief of being done with school--and today it feels good!  19 degrees with a little wind brrrrrr.  Ran one mile in 6:50 because I felt sorta fast for a minute.  Otherwise ran pretty brisk to stay warm.  Ran without taping my foot for the first time in about 5 months and it felt fine.

8:58 average pace.  Nice and slow, the sleet and snow last night left a crunchy layer on the dirt roads this morning, so my whole run it sounded like I was running on corn flakes.  It's supposed to be single digit temps tomorrow with wind, so I guess I'd better enjoy the 20's today.

7:37 average pace.  Did another "fight the wind" run.  Warmed up a little into an aerobically brisk pace and just decided to maintain the effort.  Temp 10 degrees, -8 with wind chill factor.  wind 17mph with 30mph gusts.  The sun came out while I was running though and I was actually getting too warm in my fleece overshirt.  Good workout!

8:15 average pace.  Felt easy.  It is not as cold or windy today.  In fact, it is supposed to warm up even more this week, possibly to a high of 40 degrees.  Sweet!

7:58 average pace.  Felt really easy--that's good! So, in the spirit of just building a base and no-pressure racing here is what the winter/spring schedule looks like. New Year's Eve--beer run. I know, offensive to some. It is a 5k in which you have to stop every half mile and drink 6 ounces of beer before you continue. But...cash and/or new shoes for winners. I've gotta at least try because I could use both! Then, the brutally hilly Topeka to Auburn half marathon in mid-January--net uphill course, not a PR course but will make a flat half-marathon feel easy. February 14 I will be driving to Austin to pace my little sister through her first half-marathon running 9:30 miles. I am excited for her! Next up, March 10, an approximately 2 mile course involving 418 stairs at the new arena in Wichita--sounds tough! I would like to run a marathon and PR in April. Then, May 1, the warrior dash in Texas. 3.51 miles dressed as a warrior which involves 12 obstacles including leaping over fires, swimming under logs, crawling under barbed wire through mud, climbing rope walls, clambering up hay bales, and running in streams of water. Me and my sister will dress like Xena the warrior sisters and my 52 year old mother has suddenly decided that she will dress like Athena and do it too while she is still able-bodied. Go Mom!

So far nothing.  About 7pm last night I got really nauseated and then it all started coming out--both ends.  Miserable.  It was short, though, and by about 3am I finally fell asleep.  I feel okay this morning--not sick to my stomach anymore, but I am really drained and have no energy or appetite.  It is highly unlikely that I will run today.
