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.

Treadmill hills. After this weekend I am finally off work for a week!! However, it got off to a tired start. I got off this morning and picked Vanessa up from Mom's house then took her home and tried to sleep. No way, miss chatterbox wasn't having that. By the time we rolled into the Y, I decided to tone down the workout some. Sleep deprivation sucks the life out of my motivation to run hard!

1 wu 8:34

2 x (.5@6%,.5@12%, 1@-2%) with .5 jog between then one more half-sized repeat and one mile cooldown. Good enough for today!

Home treddy fun.  My body knows I'm off this week and went into hibernation mode.  Santa came to our apartment last night and I spent all morning sitting like a lump and watching Nessa play with her new stuff.  Then I took a nap.  Finally, I had to make myself do it, although  I felt like a slug dragging onto the treadmill.  Nessa was darling and entertained me the whole time with singing, dancing, cheering, and wild kratts on netflix.

20 minute warm up.  3 x (5 x 1 min on/off) with 4 to 5 minute jogs in between.  4th set was 90 secs on/60 off, 5th set was 2 min on/1 min off, then 2 more of 1/1 sets and cooldown to 16.  speeds were from 6:00 to 7:30 for "on".  This really wasn't speedwork, just a long fartlek to practice changing gears throughout varying terrain in a long race.
