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.

8:22 AP.  LOVE the cooler temps.  I went out in the afternoon and it was only 74 degrees with a cool wind! Ran about half a mile at 6:40 pace and enjoyed how effortless it felt in the cooler temps then forced myself to slow down and just treat this like the recovery run it is supposed to be. 26 days to SGM!  I am chomping at the bit.  So excited!

7:44 AP.  62 crispy wonderful degrees!  Ran from the downtown Y along the river.  10 easy then 2 tempo 6:32, 6:30, then .44 I slowed down for a cooldown to dodge traffic getting back to the Y and ended up at 6:40 pace.  This cool weather rocks my world!

6:50 AP.  Treadmill at the Y.  I didn't have a lot of energy today since I am between night shifts.  .5 warm up 8:27 pace.  2.5 miles up 4% 7:30 pace, 5 down -2% 6:22, 6:22, 6:18, 6:15, 6:11.  I had to stop in mile 5 and make a run for the pit with a sudden emergency.  It's been a long time since it came up by surprise like that.  I felt a lot better afterwards, though.

Well, I wanted a 5K PR so I incorporated the 2-loop 5k nearby into my long run.  Warmed up 3 miles 9:00 pace then did some strides.  The race started and I went out suicidally trying to stay with Mary Green, who is an incredible master's runner that rarely races locally but when she does she creams everybody.  First mile 5:57 which is ridiculous, then died to to a 6:12, 6:17--which put me through 3 miles in 18:27, and had the course been 3.1 on the dot and had I mustered up anything resembling a kick perhaps I would have gotten a sub-19, but such was not the case.  The course measured long, but there was a lot of curving and dodging the walkers on the second loop so that it probably what happened.  Oh, and since it took me 55 seconds to polish off the last .16, showcasing my severe lack of kick, that was a problem.  I could kick myself for not kicking.  I need to learn to pace these things better!  I am still glad that I got a giant PR out of it so I can't complain.  Cooled down 12 miles at 7:49 pace.
