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: |

| | Moved yesterday, then had a date night. It was fun! Today was unpacking and it sorta wore me out. Got on my home treddy in its new location in the living room behind a couch... 20 minute warm up, 10 x 1 min on/off going in increments from 5:56 to 5:27, cooldown to 6 and then hopped off for the promised Christmas decorating with Nessa. Seems to make her feel happy about the new pad! | |

| | Didn't mind temps in the 30s but just didn't have it in me for 30mph winds. Since I was wimping out, I arrived at the East Y treadmill determined to run long and hard. Did a slowjoe wave run, alternating between 7:03 and 6:35 pace. Every other 2 mile set I raised it to 1% incline but kept it flat for the last 4 as incentive to slug it out when my legs started to fatigue. 6:48 ap.

| | 7:38 ap. This run was cool! When I parked at the school and started it was still and cold, then a little whisper of sleet started. Next thing you know it was full on wintery dermabrasion mix and I had stinging face, then it faded inti beautiful blizzardy huge, soft snowflakes, and then back to wintery mix, and then it gradually stopped, and all was still again as I got back to my car. So fun! | |

| | 29 degrees but no wind. Ran free...no watch. First hour was with Nancy whih was great. ..needed the accountability to get out the door and start. I ran with no fuel and definitely felt the beginning of depletion for a while but the feeling seemed to pass. The point of this run was time on feet and to get my body into good ol fat metabolism anyway. Glad it's done, had to shower and curl up under blankets after and I'm still in popsicle mode. | |

| | no watch. made it out of bed in time for an afternoon jaunt. Last set of back to back long runs for this training cycle. Legs were a little tight at first but loosened up and finished the last few miles hard.
