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 average pace.  Glute is better today.  The pain has migrated, seems more superficial and it hurts to put direct pressure on it--so can't really sit on the toilet comfortably.  Also seems to be a little bruising there.  I don't know when it happened but it appears I bumped my glute on something and this is really the cause of all this pain.  Run felt good today.  I could feel the area of pain sort of bouncing when I ran but running did not exacerbate it.  Nor does walking or standing.  Does not hurt to stretch it out, actually feels good.  Lifting does hurt it.  I did not like lifting patients at work yesterday.  It got to hurting pretty good at work last night and I was dismayed and pretty sure I wouldn't be running on Sunday so I tried to cure it with a peanut butter patty blizzard from Dairy Queen.  Well it must've done the trick because I feel a lot better about things today.  Ran about 300 meters at 6:52 pace to see if the faster pace was more painful.  It did not seem to be.  My form does not seem altered.  I have determined that at the very least I will jog the half-marathon on Sunday at my easy pace.  If my glute lets me I will run it harder.  If my glute lets me and the stars align I will race it.  Will just have to see how things are feeling.
