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

7:46 AP.  Impromptu threshold workout.  First, eat a heavy lunch at Red Robin with my mom.  Next, put the kids down for a nap. Then, search wildly for any music besides the Powerpump CD again and find....Totally Hits 2002.  I leap on the treadmill.

2 mile warm up at 8:34 pace

2 miles FHP at 6:49 pace

1 mile recovery 8:34 pace

2 miles FHP at 6:49 pace

2 mile cool down starting at 8:34 pace and eventually speeding up to get it over with.

Done.  6:49 pace was a little hard because my legs were tired from last night's hill workout but aerobically it was very manageable.  I think I could do a tempo run at this pace on fresh legs without totally dying.

Will do a few more easy this pm while watching David do Plyometrics X(evil laugh)

pm:  6 ez at 8:34 pace.  watched David and Brandon have a near death experience with Ploymetrics

great workout (again). That workout looks like what I have planned for tomorrow, minus the recovery mile...which I might have to put in there...we'll see :D. Thanks for paving the wave to keep me motivated.

Glad you could enjoy your husband's misery. I hope you got the enldess root beer float at Red Robin.

Red Robin has a pretty good quesadilla. Don't forget to sign up for your free birthday meal.

So the cat is out of the bag on your speedy secret - Red Robin. Great pace, it might become Reality-Houston-Pace if you don't watch out.

I'm impressed you can run that fast right after a big lunch. Future Ultra running rock star...?
