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.

8:00 AP.  Yesterday was ridiculous and I didn't have time to run.  I was up all night with Vanessa--she has a croupy cough thing going on and she got to where she couldn't stop coughing and then freaked out about it and started  screaming and thrashing and crying and had a huge meltdown.  I tried breathing treatments and everything but finally when I opened the fridge and had her breathe the cold humid air it helped and I was finally able to talk her down. my poor baby.  Today's run started nice and slow but I felt more and more smooth and strong and finally edged up on the 8:00 girl.  Splits 8:42, 8:38, 8:31, 8:02, 8:02, 7:37, 7:43, 7:52, 7:41, 7:46, last .63 at 6:54 pace.

Good run - did the tribe do well in OKC?

The tribe did great! Eddy was the first one across the line with a 3:14--almost a 30 minute PR! There where a few other PR's and everyone made it across the finish line--including Stacy who was injured but she tromped through anyway. I missed running with them early this morning because I was still dealing with Vanessa so hopefully we all catch up next week.

You ran great today April! I'm so sorry that Vanessa was having such a hard time with her coughing - I hope she is feeling much better and enjoys her birthday celebration.

I'm sorry to hear about Vanessa. Caleb gets that way sometimes too, and it's pretty hard to rationalize with a little kid, especially during a freakout! Hope she's feeling better.
