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

8.34

7:48 average pace. A wacky run today. Slept for 8 hours(WOW!) and didn't get started until 9am. Anyways it was a bit overcast and I started for another easy 10 when it began to rain, and then began to lightning and thunder. I hurried home so as not to get struck by lightning and only got in about 2.3 miles. Well it looked like it had cleared a bit later so I went back out but only ran 1 quick mile because I saw cloud to ground lightning 3 times. Went back in, looked at the radar online, and realized it would be a bit before I could safely run again. I played with the kids, packed my lunch for work, and then it finally quit lightning enough I could go back out. Of course at this time, I am on the clock and need to get showered and ready for work so I ticked off 5 miles pretty quick and then threw in the towel and came in. Hopefully the weather will cooperate a bit more tomorrow!

We all love an adventure, don't we, I mean us adrenaline-crazed runners. I could "feel" your run. Love summer rain storms : D
