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.

6:45 pace. Did the good ol treadmill hills today. .5 warm up 8:34, 2.5 up 7:30 pace, 5 down -2% 6:18,6:15,6:11,6:07, then kept ratcheting the 5th mile all the way down to 5:42 pace. Felt very strong. I think the benefits of training may be starting to finally kick in.

Missed my GoRun track workout because I had to work last night but after I got off got the bright idea that would go to the track and replicate it.  When Fernando message me the workout I about cried, it sounded brutal...and it was.  I never ever felt good during this workout.  I was winded and stiff and creaky and never smooth. It was basically awful.  I decided not to pitch it thought, and just deal with not hitting the paces I wanted.  I got kinda confused about the 300 meters so just went off the paces my garmin said I was running.

2 mile warm up

200(5:36),300(5:34),600(5:49),300(5:32),200(5:30)--200 meter recoveries in between except I took 400 meters after the 600 to work out a side stitch

3:45 jog

10 minute threshold 6:23 pace

4:40 jog

6 x 300 with 200 recovery 5:53,5:35, 5:42,5:31,5:28,5:28

cooldown 2.25 miles. 

ugh and good night

evening:  5 more very easy on the home treddy.  shaking off this morning's nasty run

7:10 AP on the Kingman Hills with Kyle and Fernando--a helluva workout on those hills.  Usually they get hopelessly ahead of me but today they only put about 30 seconds on me so I was in striking distance--felt good about that.

7:10 average pace.  Met up with Nick and Kyle at the start line to the Johnston's half marathon course.  Kyle was talking a 1:30 half for a good long tempo, but it was a tall order the day after the Kingman dirt hills leg thrashing we took yesterday.  My legs were shot.  We still turned it into solid tempo intervals, and I just hung on to Kyle's red pacer shirt for dear life.  Popped off the first 5 miles at 6:47 pace, jogged, then 3 at 6:50 pace, jogged a little, then 2 at 6:50 pace, then cooled down.  Legs were tree trunks.  not too hot but 86% humidity.  I was fatigued from the night at work and little sleep.  Have done a lot of quality this week!  Looking forward to some easy recovery running!
