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.  6 at 8:02 AP.  Dirt roads.  This was a test run to see how I felt after a nasty stomach bug yesterday.  I felt alright--must be because of my husband's invention--jello made with gatorade instead of water--kept me hydrated.

pm. 5.03 at 7:49 AP.  Sienna Ranch.

7:32 AP.  3x2 at MP, and my goal was to be realistic about it, so I ran the MP miles at a pace that felt smooth and relaxed.  The first two sets were in Pauls Valley, and the 3rd was in Sienna Ranch.  2 mile warm up 9:12, 8:33, 2 at mp 7:06, 7:05, .5 at 7:32 pace, 2 at mp 7:04, 7:07, .5 at 7:41 pace, 2 at mp 7:06, 7:03, .3 cooldown at 7:52 pace.  I have things to do today, like an interview with Lifeteam as a flight nurse/medic--very interested!

Race: 15K Time Trial (9.31 Miles) 01:02:21
Total Distance
11.40

Today my schedule called for a 15k time trial.  It was such a HUGE breakthrough that I made it a race report!  I got out of my job at the jail, changed in the locker room, warmed up 1.06 at 7:34 pace running to the river path, and started.  I wore racing flats and listened to music, and ran with reckless abandon, and felt AMAZING the whole time.

6:35, 6:31, 6:35, 6:36(26:17 so far, 4 mile PR)

6:39( 32:56 total, there goes my 8k/5 mile pr!)

6:47(39:43, so shortly after this my 10k pr fell!)

6:52, 6:50, 6:44, last .31 at 6:52 pace  1:02:21--massive 15k PR!

stopped, walked, looked at my splits and practically jumped up and down with excitement!

1.03 mile cool down at 7:23 pace.

Was it the racing flats?  Was it the music?  Was it the mileage? Am I down a few pounds from eating better?  I dunno, but this was a breakthrough.
