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.

1:24:49/8:29 pace.  Felt okay.  It was hot outside.  I was out the door a little after 7 am but the temps were already climbing and it was close to 80 when I finished.  I know that's not horribly hot but I am not used to it.  I have decided to do a 5k on June 6th and I am looking forward to a pr.  Plan is to get into the low 20's.  Considering how hard a 6:06 mile was last week I don't think sub-20 is in the cards just yet.

1:20:40/8:54 pace.  Nice and easy today.  Felt wonderful.  It was overcast and cooler, in the 70's, with a nice breeze.  Amazing how much easier it is to run in a bit cooler weather.  Did two circuits of strength drills afterwards.  Weight is coming down a little bit--I think from being over 50 miles a week consistently.  I still feel healthy and am eating a lot.

1:11:24/7:51 pace. Overcast, a little windy rainy.  I was soaked almost immediately, but it was warm enough that the rain did not make me miserably cold.  Ran a little faster than usual, but I was in the mood and something about running fast in wind and rain felt pleasantly rebellious.

1:21:27/8:58 pace.  Took it very nice and easy today.  Felt good.  Had no inclination to move any faster.  Last day of work before being off for the weekend.  Yeah!

I got a garmin!  My husband got me one on ebay and it arrived yestereday afternoon!  I got to play with it today and how FUN and interesting.  First 6 miles with Vanessa in the stroller in 53:22/8:53 pace--you can tell where I had to stop for lights and to throw shoes back into the stroller--splits 9:02/9:16/8:37/8:46/8:37/8:59.  Then came home for two more on my own 8:57/8:23--was going to do more but was getting that lightheaded numb-legged feeling and decided to call it quits for now.  It is hot--85 degrees--perhaps that has to do with the weird feeling?  I did drink water during the run.  Will do strength drills tomorrow or maybe later. 

update: did 20 minutes of abs with Denise Austin

1:21:41/8:09 average.  Got up at 5am to run before my busy day.  Just got up, got dressed,and went out the door.  No breakfast, no coffee, no drink of water.  Of course I was armed with my Garmin!  I am having so much fun with it. Felt pretty tired in the legs, about mile 8 decided to kick it up a notch for the last two miles to practice running hard when fatigued.  Interesting to see my splits. 9:04/8:33/8:24/8:23/8:13/8:08/8:09/7:59/7:27/7:09/last little bit is 5:12 pace(kick to the end).  Nick has his track meet today.  He will be doing softball throw, long jump, and 400 meter dash.  I can't wait!  I am going to take him out for ice cream afterward.
