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.

Y.  7 on the mill, 3 on the indoor track.  Tomorrow's 18 in 80 degrees should be a blast.

Just in case I thought I might be getting back into shape, I had this nasty little 18 mile reality check to erase any such thoughts.  I ran slow, I got hot, and instead of a tempo the last 4 I squeaked out a few 7:20s then death-marched the last two miles.

6:53 AP.  Didn't see that coming.  After being up all night with sick kiddo and laying around most of the day, I finally washed all the pukey laundry, mopped up the barf, swept up albuterol and atrovent breathing treatment bullets, and made it to the dreadmill at the Y.  .5 warmup 8:34 pace, and then, surprise, my legs were a go.  2 miles up 4% 7:30 pace, then just let em turn fast for the next 5.5 down -2% 6:40, 6:35, 6:31, 6:27, 6:22, 6:18.  getting very close now to my St. George hill workouts of old.    Maybe I am getting back into shape.  a little. maybe.
