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
11.00

7:34 AP. Dreadmill at the Y. 3 mile warm up 8:27 pace. Speedwork ladder 400(5:27 pace), 800(5:42 pace), 1200(5:49 pace), 1600(5:56), 1200, 800, 400. 400 meter jogs in between repeats at 9:13 pace except after the 1600 I took half a mile because my lunch was threatening to re-appear. 2 mile cool down 8:27 pace. This was actually pretty brutal. I'm encouraged I can pull it off despite my winter weight gain so when I make my way back to race weight I might try to go PR a 5k.

Weight: 0.00

400 meter recovery for a 1600???????? HELL....O!!!!!! btw what do you put your incline at for SW? My meal would have come up the first repeat!! In fact...I forgot to mention on my blog Monday how I did ALMOST ASPIRATE whatever was left in my stomach from the night before....I totally was CHOKING literally on the treadmill in my aspirate!!! and you know what ? I still didn't turn off my TM. I thought I was going to fall off fighting the gags. That was the first time that snuck up on me. Scary actually. So basically I totally understand. But really an old lady like me needs a lot longer recovery. Gotta be able to walk the next day : D Way to go girl!!!

So, the long recoveries were after the shorter sprints? I am confused!!! Whatever, it looks like a killer workout! Look at that mile speed girlie! WOW!!!!!

Yes, PR all across the board. You have become a force to be reckoned with.
