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
7.00

7:45 AP.  Limited time to run after the afternoon thunderstorm.  It was overcast and hot and muggy, but at least the sun was not beating down on me and that helped.

Warm up 2 miles 8:10, 8:07

2 miles at fantasy Houston marathon pace 6:44, 6:46, didn't feel too bad

2 miles easy 8:36, 8:22

1 mile easy with 3 fast surges, 40 seconds at 5:14 pace, 27 seconds at 5:26 pace, 27 seconds at 5:22 pace

They didn't deliver my treadmill today because of the storm so I will have to wait until tomorrow.  We leave tomorrow evening to camp at the lake for the weekend.  Can't wait!

That would definitely be a crazy good marathon at that pace. I'm actually still entertaining the idea of signing up for Houston anyway since I'll more than likely be back home by then and will have perfect training weather Nov-Jan in the desert. It sucks that you have to sign up for it in July!

Have fun at the lake, get in some trail running maybe.

The treadmill will be cool when it arrives!

Joe--I am ready to haunt the computer and get my slot on July 27th! As soon as I am in for sure I'm going to book a hotel downtown in walking distance from the starting line. Definitely planning on some trail running, next weekend there is a trail half-marathon at this very same place so this weekend I am going to jog it and scope out the course and see how difficult it is--then next weekend run it like I mean it!

KP--I am eagerly awaiting my weekend diet of hot dogs and smores...and beer

Chris--just waiting on the couch right now, it should be here any minute!

that sounds like my plan for the weekend too!

Haha, I love it fantasy Houston pace. Well, Houston is a long ways off, so just keep doin' that fantasy pace and it may become reality!
