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

Nick wanted to go play on the football field today, so we packed up and went.  We brought baby dolls, water bottles, a sippy cup, fruit, fruit bars, books, and a stroller and drove to the track.  I ran 28 laps...eventually.  Between letting Vanessa in and out of the stroller for laps, craning my neck to watch the boys, doing a few dashes up the bleachers when Vanessa was climbing too high, yelling at the kids to be nice to each other, and doling out snacks, it took me a while!   It was not as boring as my 28 laps the other day, as I was quite engaged most of the time!  At the end I did a 100 meter dash in 17 seconds, timed Nick for a 100 meter dash(21.7 seconds) and did some stretching.  Ian didn't want to do a 100 meter dash, and Vanessa would veer off course to explore before she ever made it 100 meters.  All in all quite entertaining.  It was 60 degrees by 10:00 today(how do ya like that Walter?).

p.m.  my husband's basic training workout video.  mostly a lot of pushups and crunches

Boy, full hands running today. 7 miles, it seems to be that it was more than that.

How dizzy are you today?

60 degrees.... I was excited it was 44 degrees here (when I ran-I think it made it to 50). Sounds like you had a full workout!!! Nice time on the 100 meter dash.
