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: |

| | 9.47 with my husband on the bicycle towing Vanessa. Actually a bit of a workout on the hills. We enjoyed our time together. I have a job interview at a local heart hospital tomorrow at 9am. | |

| | 8:38 average pace. Took it easy and zoned out with music. Was cold, but nice once my face quit stinging and went numb. The interview went well today. Looks like I will be starting a new job in January if I pass the NCLEX. |

| | 7:56 average pace. Gave mile repeats a try today. Warmed up 2.7 and then did the first repeat conservative at 10kish pace to get my body used to the idea of it. My legs seem stiff and unresponsive today, not sure why. Time for mile 1 was 6:48, then 4 minutes jogging recovery although I felt recovered after 1 and then 5k pace. 6:25 for this mile, now I am really noticing how stiff my legs are, particularly in the hips. Try as I might I cannot seem to open my stride up and really get going. Four minutes jogging recovery than mile 3 in 6:22. Once again just cannot get my stride opened up but resort to working on fast turnover to hold speed. Felt choppy, the problem is definitely in my hips. They do not always feel like this so it just the thing today, but I am glad I did the workout anyway. Cooled down then did one circuit of strength drills which I have neglected for a long time now. Wow they were hard, I can see now that they really do make a difference and I need to do them! Will work on stretching and strengthening the hips and hopefully next week my mile repeats are a bit faster. Aerobically the 5k pace was tolerable but certainly not comfortable. |

| | 8:17 average pace. First long run in several months. Started out unmotivated and planning to go about 8. Then the music started to make me feel good and I got into a groove and then the endorphins kicked in and I felt good so I kept going. I feel awesome. |

| | Met with a running group this morning--they were all super nice! They were planning on a 15-miler today though and I only wanted to go about 8 so I ran with them for about 5 then turned back West and decked out the last 3 miles. Average pace 8:44, splits ranged from 10:23 to 7:14--how's that for all over the place? I think I will run with the group again--it was nice to not run solo. |
