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. Favorite Blogs: |

| | Nice n easy with Bling, aerobically I seem to have not lost much at all but there is nothing smooth about my running and my legs still feel like stiff tree trunks. Did an hour of core and weights afterward. I am back on the sub-3 diet so did some grocery shopping to keep good choices nearby. Very motivated. During June I will lose the 10 pounds I managed to gain and rebuild fitness. Then the marathon training starts, and I am very, very serious. | |

| | 6 miserable miles on the home treadmill. It needs to be recalibrated, badly. 10:00 pace feels like 8:30 pace, 8:30 pace is bordering on a tempo run, and 6:00 pace is absolutely suicidal. | |

| | Stopped in the Y in the afternoon and did 40 minutes core and weight. Evening track workout with the GoRun group. Showed up early and plodded 3.25 miles to warm up, then did a little ladder 200-300-400-300-200. Times were 38, 59, 1:21, 59, 35. plodded a few miles to cool down. felt weird but good to move a little faster. | |

| | 8 ez on the indoor track with a few surges at what I think is 10k pace. mini core workout after for 20 minutes. That's it until the 10k race Saturday. That is going to be my baseline fitness test to see where I am. | |

| | Race: |
River Run 10k (6.2 Miles) 00:42:50, Place in age division: 3 | | Tested the waters today. Went way better than expected! I didn't wear a watch, just ran. Warmed up a half mile slow jog with the rest of the Badgers, then did two strides. The plan was to run 2 miles relaxed, ease into tempo pace the middle two, and go for it if I gelt good the last 2. Leg held up fine, was just a little tight at the end. I felt great and mostly comfortable the whole time. Much more optimistic about how much fitness I have maintained!! | |
