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.

I needed a little bit of a light day.  2000 yards.  First 100 yards with just the kickboard working my legs.  One mile(1750 yards) in about 41 minutes..improvement.  Next up 3 50 yard sprints in 49 seconds to make 2000.  Sat in the hot tub for a while afterward and this dude struck up a  friendly conversation, I think he was trying to show off for me as he talked about going to state in swimming freshman year in high school, which evidently was not too long ago.   He's probably friends with one of our kids lol.  Still, I like his opening line.."So, how many laps did ya swim?"  On another note, I am considering triathlons as a way to transition back into running without coming back too quickly, and to keep me motivated and crosstraining.  There is sprint triathlon in May--500 yard swim, 6 mile bike, and 2 mile run.  Maybe?

Sounds like a little Casanova.

Ooh State, you lucky girl. He could've gotten more creative than that and told you his favorite "stroke."

Triathalons sound like a good idea, go for it. You're getting in some good distance, looks like. I've been intrigued by tri's lately but I haven't ridden a bike since I was 10.

I am mystified by "transition"--do I just get out of the pool and slap my wet butt on a bike and go or what? I honestly think I will make a lame triathlete but it will be something to do and an incentive to stay in shape!

No, no. You get out of the pool, young Don Juan slaps you on the butt, then you get on the bike.

No way, he didn't make it to state THIS year so I am not impressed enough to allow a buttslap. Besides, what teenager hangs out in a hot tub and hits on thirty-somethings? In fact, why wasn't he in school today?
