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.

7:35 AP.  Enjoyed the cooler weather and felt perky so this one was on the brisk side but not uncomfortable.  Ran around the neighborhoods by my mom's apartment.   It was a nice change of scenery.  Stroller running plans tomorrow as long as Vanessa's cough doesn't turn into a breathing issue.  I am starting to really hate this time of year for her--we are having a lot of problems with her breathing.

Vanessa struggled all night. We went to the doctor today and we are going to start her on daily pulmicort. Hopefully after a few months of that we get things under control and I don't have to have her all jacked up on albuterol and xopenex all the time. I have a pulse-ox at home and her sats dropped under 90% with any exertion, so we watched a lot of television today! Needless to say, stroller running was out. I'm planning on doing some strength drills and core work later on tonight.

And, in other exciting news, I BOUGHT A TREADMILL! There are a lot of times when I have time to run because the kids are napping or whatever, but there is nobody to watch the kids. So, for the convenience of the whole family and in a selfish desire to get my runs in, I bought the treadmill. Really though, it helps, because now I can time some runs so I can do them when hubby is working and the kids are napping, and then they have my wholehearted attention when they are all home and awake. I'm not going to run on it every day but probably a good 2 or 3 days a week. My husband is happy about it. He has been wanting to do some workout videos, like maybe p90x, and this way we can work out together. It gets delivered next week!

7:45 AP.  Took it easy in the drizzy rain in the neighborhoods by my Mom's apartment.  I was moving faster than I thought!  Good run, felt good, enjoyed the run, even enjoyed the rain!  Wound in and out and all around, and even ran a mile on soft grass when the sidewalk ran out.  Vanessa is much better today.

7:51 AP.  Took it easy out on my old friends the dirt roads.  It was overcast and humid but nice and cool so I felt good.  The roads were a little muddy in places but not bad.  Did the last .58 at 6:29 pace and felt groovy!

7:53 AP.  I got 5 visits done pretty quick this morning, then had an hour and a half of down time before it was time to see my next client, so I did what any other reasonable person would do.  I parked at the park down town, changed into running clothes, ran 8 miles in the heat of the day by the river, then put my scrubs back on and went to see my client.  This client smokes like a chimney and would not notice if I was bit sweaty and stinky.

Showed up early and ran 8 by myself at 8:05 AP.  Then I hooked in with the tribe and ran 11.92 at 8:47 AP.  It was getting pretty hot and humid today but we drank lots of water and the miles went fast with all the talking.  A good time as always!  Total miles 19.92 at 8:30 AP.  It was definitely a pretty stress-free 20.  I think I will just make this a Saturday routine.  Came home and downed a massive breakfast of eggs, sausage, pancakes, strawberries, and milk.  Burp.
