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.

7:34 AP.  Up at 5, out the door with coffee 5 minutes later, in Derby running by 5:30.  Derby has lots of rolling hills and is well-lit; it is a good place for early morning running.  I saw 6 or 7 other runners out, which was pretty cool.  

evening: 5 easy on the treadmill while the kids exercised. 8:32 AP.  After a while my legs felt surprisingly refreshed. I am wondering if there is something to be said about a second daily run in terms of recovery.

nice start to your day!

Good miles at a nice pace! It makes me laugh that you need your coffee before running. I find coffee gross at any time, but especially right before a run!

Wow look at your pace through those hills. You did drink your coffee didn't you?!

I must have my morning coffee. I have found that attempting a morning run without any coffee at all I can't even wake up enough to get under 9:00 pace. Sad, but true. I don't even drink that much! I drink maybe 4 or 5 ounces before I run. It's also important because it makes me go number two immediately and then I don't have to worry about any mid-run emergencies. TMI, I know.

It's cool Allie, I undestand. Maybe next time.
