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.

7:43 AP.  It was cold and windy and rain and muddy on my dirt roads and I hit every hill I could.  Made for a miserably perfect run, helped drench the anger and frustration I was feeling today.  I was cold, soaking wet, and had lots of bright red angry cold skin when I was done.  It was absolutely perfect, wish I had time to pound out a few more.  Last 2 6:39, 6:27.

Easy run on the dirt roads.  Sprinted the last .13 at 4:26 pace.  Felt good.  I'm going to race a 10-miler on the 19th.

7:19 AP.  This basically turned into a 7 mile marathonish pace tempo followed by a tired cooldown.  I worked all night, got off a little late, had to run fast from the post to the East GoRun store to make the group run on time(5 miles), made it just in time, but only 5 people were there--two too fast and two too slow, so ran 2 miles out trailing the fast dudes and then decided I really needed to go home and go to bed so turned around and took the most direct route bact to my car, another 5.78 miles, run at a much more reasonable pace.  First 7 miles 6:55 AP.  I think next week will be all easy 8 milers until the 10 mile race on Saturday, although I may do a time trial Tuesday or Wednesday.
