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.

Total Distance
15.00

8:10 AP.  No school today.  Ice outside, kids inside.  So, as they sleepily watched morning cartoons, I hit the dreadmill, determined to do my last volume run before the marathon.  After a while, the kids came down and watched Avatar.  So, between the kids, the movie, and some music, I survived my record distance on a treadmill.  Took it very very easy as planned, slowly bumping up the pace 0.1mph every few miles, and then did the last two at 6:49 pace.  Shin slowly warmed up, although I am coming to realize it is more of a medial knee rather than a shin problem.  Whatever it is, it is very runnable and not getting worse.  Now my taper truly begins.  10 days.

Whew! 15 miles on a treadmill is a feat!

Enjoy your taper. And enjoy the snow day (although I think your kids will probably be having more fun than you :)

I really liked that movie. I think if I watched it on the TM it would be more bearable!

Glad it is runnable, glad you survived the dreadmill, and glad that you are in full taper! YEAH. Have I told you how excited I am????

Yay for Marathon Tapers. I didn't really taper for my half but I don't think that will change the outcome. Cross your fingers for me!!! Have a great weekend!!!
