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.

8:59 AP--treadmill while the kids danced to the power pump CD.  I am very very sore.  I am just as sore as I am after a marathon.  I hobbled around all day and groaned on stairs and wasn't planning to run but decided a slow trot to warm things up might help.  It did.  After I got past the initial jarring sensations to my quads I began to feel better.  Started at 10:00 pace and slowly sped up, eventually booking it at the end to get under a 9:00 average because I am a dork like that.  Tribal hill workout is out tomorrow, I am too sore and do not want to flirt with injury.  I  wasn't planning on being this thrashed after the race but it is what it is so I am going to have to run easy and recover this week so I don't get hurt.  Hopefully I have my legs back by next week and can get back to hard training.

I guess you can be comforted knowing that sore feeling is your legs getting even stronger. You'll be nice and refreshed for more abuse next week.

Take a nice recovery. You deserve it! By the way, I'm also a dork like that...

Great photo! Good job getting out for a recovery run - hope you're able to move a bit better today.

We are all dorks like that!!! Oh, the times I sprint that last mile just to change my average pace by less than 5 seconds. NUTS!!!

I forgot about your race (I get way too wrapped up in myself sometimes). I am off to read all about it!!!
