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.

am.  8 at 8:32 AP.  Dirt roads.  Calves are hammered from the 16 in racing flats Saturday. I'm still out on the fence about wearing them for the marathon.   Decisions decisions.

pm.  4.6 at 10:39 pace with my husband. I  never thought I would see this day!

8:20 AP.  4am.  Still feeling my calves and just wasn't in a hurry this morning.  It was a very clear night and I could see lots of stars and then started seeing a bunch of shooting stars!  It was very cool and I really enjoyed the sights.  I don't know how cold it was but it must have been really cold because my skin was red and angry afterward pretty much all over.

7:07 AP.  workout was 3x3 at MP.  

1 mlile warm up 8:32

3 MP 7:02, 7:01, 6:51

,5 at 7:38 pace

3 MP 6:51, 6:55, 6:53

.5 at 7:37 pace

3 MP 6:50, 6:59, 6:40

I don't know that it is really accurate MP but once I set the cruise control the pace is quite  manageable.  I never checked my watch.  I plan on checking it only at the halfway point in Houston and then towards the end if I need motivation.

8:27 AP. treadmill.  Nice and easy since I plan on 22 in the morning.  The last really big monster run before the big one in 24 days.  I have an 18 miler next weeekend, and then kick off my taper. Training for this has gone really fast.

7:29 AP.  Did this without fuel or water, but was definitely feeling in need of something around mile 17.  There was a 17mph North wind but I didn't notice it until I had to go straight into in mile 21, and then I noticed it a lot as is reflected by my lousy split.  Started off very slow to see if my left calf and weird knee feeling would pass when I warmed up and it did by about mile 2.  I think my shin muscle and calf are still just a little sore over there.  Racing flats are unlikely, I may just run in the old trustworthy's I ran in today.  Splits 7:59, 7:59, 7:43, 7:37, 7:23, 7:23, 7:20, 7:27, 7:18, 7:22, 7:16, 7:30, 7:19, 7:19, 7:28, 7:30, 7:20, 7:21, 7:25, 7:27, 7:52, 7:09

7:46 AP.  Can't even feel yesterday's 22 in my legs at all.  I didn't feel last night's tequila and dancing either--I did exercise some restraint and didn't have a whole lot to drink.  It was Eddy's send-off party for Phoenix next week where he wills surely break 3 hours.  Had a nice late morning run and with Eddy on the old HS course and finished off with a good luck bagle.  Now for a weekend off!  Yeah!
