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.

am.  8 on dirt roads at 7:59 AP.  Would've been slower except I got chased up a hill by a Beagle around mile 5 and kinda picked it up for the rest of the run.  My calves are sore.  I am sure they are not accustomed to racing flats and that is the reason.   Would it be foolish to try the racing flats out on a long run this weekend?  I think they make me faster and am toying with the idea of wearing them for Houston. am planning a few more this pm...

pm. 5. treadmill at 8:25 pace

This was a wild impromptu 1 am run!  After a suggestion by Lacy on facebook, a group of us decided to run under the lunar eclipse.  I met Lacy at 1:00am at HS, and we ran to the downtown square and met up with four other people.  The four of us then ran through downtown in the middle of the street to the bridge and the Keeper of the Plains statue for a lovely view and pictures.  It was really magical and beautiful.  Then we ran back to the downtown square and me and Lacy ran back to HS.  It was good to run together and talk with my friendly local race rival Lacy and meet a few new people.  I drank extra coffee this morning at work in the jail!

am. 9.3 at 7:15 AP.  Had a hard time getting motivated for faster stuff in 22 degrees in tights, shorts, and two shirts.  Going north the wind was cold and I was too cold, going south I was overdressed and too hot.  Calves are STILL tight.  Felt like my legs were giving out the last tempo mile. 3x2 day.

4am.  Garmin was dead, so I ran sans technology in the cold moonlight.  Big winter storm coming...supposedly.

7:24 AP.  No Garmin.  Just checked my phone clock at the beginning and end--2:28. I ran without fuel or water and seemed to be okay, just the usual end of 20-miler fatigue.  Off to an evening with family.
