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.

8:35 average pace.  Was going to do 16 miles, but when I looked at the radar this morning on tv, there was  a storm coming in.  It looked like it would pass north of us, so I started my run.  It started raining and I was just going to keep running through, but then the thunder and lightning started and when it was hitting all around me and the thunder was deafening, I had to abandon ship.  My last mile was all at sub-7 pace because I was running home fast for fear I would get struck by lightning because it was getting WAY too close.  Did 10 minutes of abs plus two circuits of strength drills.  I will try again for the long run tomorrow but it may storm again in the morning so I may have to push it all the way to Wednesday morning.  If it dies down before I go to work I may go out and police up a few more miles today.  Anyways I feel great today--did  a lot of sleeping yesterday and last night.

8:03 average pace.  Drank half a cup of coffee and went for it.  Kicked it into a higher gear for the last 6 miles did 7:30ish pace.  Legs and breathing felt fine the whole time but definitely feeling a little fatigued the last 3 miles.  Decided to run through it anyway.  Drank 16 oz gatorade total throughout the run.  Downed a massive breakfast and off to work.

First drove into Rose Hill and did 6 easy with Vanessa in the stroller. Garmin battery died so don't know the pace and that's fine. Then got the mail, went home, and David and the boys had gone to Wal-Mart, so me and Vanessa drove into Andover where there is this awesome playground and did 4 more in the stroller, and then played on the playground and then came back home. Vanessa re-fueled throughout with gatorade and pop-tarts :) She is such a good girl. Then went to mom's and ate sushi and now I'm at work and so far it's quiet. Hope it stays that way. Have a little plantar fascitis in my r foot. Wondering if it is the Mizunos since I never had it with my cheap asics shoes.

9:13 average pace. A very gentle run on dirt roads, although I hit every hill in about a 2 mile radius and ran up it, although slowly.  Okay, I call them hills, other folks would probably call them bumps but they are the best I can do since I live on a pancake.

8:53 average pace.  Slept in, spent the morning hanging out with my children, then we all went to pizza hut buffet to eat.  Filled up on a big plate of salad but managed to find room for a piece of beef pizza, a piece of dessert pizza, and a cinnamon breadstick.  Then went home and put the kids down for a nap.  David mowed the lawn and I went and ran in the heat of day--91 degrees according to tv, 95 degrees according to the bank sign.  Carried a bottle of water with me and ran on soft dirt roads.  It will be easy miles on soft dirt roads until this PF in my right foot clears up.  It all started last Saturday when I did that 24 hour work/clinical stint well my foot didn't like being stood on that long.  I thought maybe it was the Mizuno shoes but then it would have started earlier.  I've had it before--cleared up pretty quick as long as a follow the rules--no concrete or asphalt, easy pace, and aleve every 12 hours for the first week or so.  Anyways its not bad--doesn't bother me on runs--only first thing in the morning or when I get up after having been sitting for a while.  Off to shower before the natives awaken.
