Personal:

Married with 2 lively boys. I love running and I love getting faster. Just trying to figure out how to balance life between being a mother, wife, part time nurse, and runner. :)

When I was in 6th grade I filled out a Getting to Know You sheet. Under nicknames I wrote, "My brothers call me Boo Legs, I think its because I run fast." (It really came from the movie, Strange Brew) And its been my family nickname ever since.

I'm still alive. I started a new job about three weeks ago. I'm orienting to the new job full time and when that's done (next week), I'll just go part time. Thank goodness! Finding time/energy to run has been a challenge. Today at 5:00 am, there was an epic battle between my bed and the treadmill.....My bed won. I'm okay with that. I think I needed the extra hour of sleep.

Treadmill miles at the gym. The temperature read -3 degrees (on my car thermometer) on the way to the gym this morning. Wow. So bitter cold. I'm ready for spring.

Tried a bootcamp style class at the gym. So. Stinkin. Hard.  It was a circuit class filled with lunges, push ups, pull ups, running stairs, back extensions, sprints, cable rows, crunches, and rowing. The upper body stuff was the hardest for me. No surprise there. I ran 3 very slow miles after.

2 miles before a weight lifting class and 1 mile after. I was planning on doing more like 4 or 5 miles but I just didn't have it in me today.

Even though I ran inside today, I felt soooo much better because I can actually see the sky. (I'm sure a lot of people living in northern Utah feel this way) Lately, I feel like I've got some winter blues going on because of the crappy weather and air. Its been a real bummer not being able to run outside in the fresh air. Treadmill running gets old, there's only so many shows I can catch up on. Its been hard to find motivation. Struggling big time. Long story short, I'm hoping to run outside sometime this week before the crappy air comes back.....

Treadmill miles. Average pace 8:34. I've definitely lost speed this winter. Followed up the miles with push ups, dips, and planks.

Treadmill miles. Slow and easy. Followed by about 15 mins of lower body strength training.
