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. Favorite Blogs: |

| Easy miles. I have tight calves and I'm thinking my arch pain is related to that. Spent sometime yesterday massaging and rolling those bad boys. Planning on doing the same today.

| Was planning on doing a few miles after a weight lifting class but the arch of my foot wasn't having it. I decided that getting to Moab healthy is better than hitting a certain mileage this week. |

| Probably not the smartest move but I needed a run. So my sweet sister took my sweet sister took my boys so I could run on the Jordan river parkway. |

Canyonlands Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:44:51 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 13.19 | 13.19 |
| My A goal for this race was to get in under 1:40. That would be a 10 minute improvement from my half last fall (8 weeks after my baby.) I knew that was doable. My B goal was under 1:45 and my C goal was under 1:50.
By mile 2 of this race I knew if I wanted under 1:40, I was going to have to work and it would hurt. I was okay with this. It was one of those days where running just feels hard. Notsomuch effortless like I wanted. I was okay with the hurt that would come but by mile 6-7, the wind really picked up. I knew that 1:40 wasn't going to happen because it was way too hard to keep my pace against the wind. Again, I was okay with this. Running and races will always be there. By the big hile at mile 9, I felt like I was going backwards. The drummers at the top of the hill between mile 9-10 gave me the mental boost I needed and I knew I could get under 1:45 if I just held on. The wind gods smiled down upon us and when we came out of the canyon and onto the freeway, the wind was FINALLY at our backs. I finished strong and crept in just under 1;45.
Splits
8:30, 8:02, 7:38, 7:42, 7:43, 7:54, 8:19, 8:13, 8:11, 8:23, 8:01, 7:40, 7:25, and I don't know how to calculate the last .2 but it was a 6:00 min/mile pace.
Even though I didn't quite get the time I wanted, I'm considering this race a success for me. In the past, I would have given up mentally because I wasn't feeling on. The wind would have pushed me down further. When I didn't feel great, I was able to mentally hold it together and readjust my goals, wind and all. I knew I couldn't have gone faster than I did and I'm proud of the way I performed. I still have a long way to go to where I WANT to be but again, running and races will always be there.

| Easy miles. My legs aren't sore at all after my half but the arch of my right foot is a bit angry. Not as bad as I thought it would be though.... I stepped it out with my sister after the easy treadmill run. Bless her heart for listening to every detail of the race on Saturday. Sisters are the best.
