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
8.00

At 7:30 pm it is still 93 degrees and 61% humidity.  Geeeeez!  5 at 8:20 pace on the treadmill while my husband worked out then dashed up the stairs and outside for 3 more at 8:03, 8:07, 7:53.  I have a cold and while my legs aren't really sore anymore, they are heavy.  Felt terrible the whole time.  I seem to always get sick after cashing in my chips on a long, hard race.

btw I love your picture!! Kim sent me some pics of me thru email of my 50 miler and it is saying it is not the right size? I don't know how to change that. Do you? Hence why the age-enhanced photo on my blog :D.

That's a great picture of you climbing through the muddiness. I wouldn't have lasted a mile!

Sounds like a good time for a recovery week, get well soon.

I hear that is very common after runs like that! Hard to imagine a cold in that heat, though! TAKE CARE!!!

Glad the soreness is leaving your legs; but sorry to hear you're crudded up with a cold. Hope you feel better soon! Great job getting those summertime miles in!!

hope you get to feeling better. still putting in some good mileage though! great work.

julie - use a picture editor to compress your pics. i am not sure what specific program you have (most likely microsoft office picture manager), but they are all pretty similar. just look for the compress/resize tool. select "compress for web pages" and then re-save it. this will shrink it down to a smaller file size without affecting the quality of the photo.
