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.

Took yesterday off for a lovely Easter.  Headed to the downtown Y at lunch to workout, and go figure, forgot my sports bra,.  After some contemplation, I tightened up the flimsy straps of my non-supportive bra, and ditched the tank for the long sleeve underarmour shirt that's been on the floor of my car for at least a month.  First, run by the river.  5 minute walk, 5 minute run, 5 minute walk, 5 minute run, 5 minute walk, 5 minute run.  Went into the Y drenched in sweat by nature of being grossly overdressed and hopped onto a cybex bike in the crowded cardio room for 30 minutes.  My sweat levels nicely topped those of anyone else in the room and I do believe a few concerned looks were cast my way.  Rounded things off by taking a shower and putting my soaking wet sweat bra back on and going back to work.  Gross....or just dedicated?

30 minutes cybex bike keeping heart rate over 170 and rpms over 95.  20 mintutes on crossramp elliptical keeping same heart rate.   Sweat levels: higher than anyone else at the Y as far as I could tell. I do believe I am out of shape.  Sometimes I think I feel something in my right leg but sometimes I don't.  Anyways, I'm following the Pfitzinger comeback schedule so I won't run again until Thursday.

50 minutes adaptive motion elliptical keeping heart rate 175-180 and sweating like near cardiac arrest.  Hopped of and walked briskly for 10 minutes.  Can't wait to run tomorrow!

The stress levels around here are really stacking up.  I didn't have any time for crosstraining, just my sad little walk-run.  3 minute walk, 7 minute jog x3.  I ran the 1 mile dirt loop by  my house so I know I covered over 3 miles in the process.  I like running on dirt better--less phantom pain.  The "sensations" I seem to get aren't even in the same place as the fractures.  I am hyper-aware of any sensation but honestly I haven't experience anything I would call pain.  My legs feel good.

Had to skip yesterday...my little girl was sick.  She also turned 4, but the party is tomorrow at ChuckECheese so I guess it's better we got the sickness over with.  Anyways, I busted out the Garmin today.  Surprisingly, there was no rust on it.  My legs felt good, my form felt good, my stride felt relaxed.  Walk 2 minutes, run 8, walk 2, run 8, walk 2, run 8.  Covered 3.5 miles in 30 minutes.  I will be off to the gym later this afternoon for 90 minutes of crosstraining for my "long" run.  The absence of pain has me feeling more and more confident about my legs being healed, but I am going to stick with the plan and keep it on dirt as much as possible for a long while.

Update: at the gym--30 minutes regular bike, 15 elliptical, 45 recument bicycle.
