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.

Outside miles before work. Felt good and cold. The last two weeks have been crazy. Between vacations, a shin issue, some ear infections, and no internet... I haven't been too descriptive. ....And I'm too lazy to go back and fill in the details.

2 miles before and after a weight lifting class. Average pace was around 9:00 min/miles. I was tired and slow today. My pace is slooooowing down.

Treadmill miles. Forgot the Ipod. It was as much a mentally challenging run as it was physically, perhaps more.

 

I just went back and read my posts from this week. Man, I'm a whiner dog! I'm just getting more pregnant and running is getting harder. Still so grateful I can run. I need to buck up buttercup!

7.1 treadmill miles.

My heart and prayers go out to runners, friends and families of runners, and all those in Boston today. Its a sad day for running and racing.

Treadmill miles again at the gym. I was glued to CNN watching the Boston Terror reports. Still so sick about it. Hoping everyone associated with it is doing well.

Probably time to retire the brooks summons, I'm up to about 430 miles. Felt achy on the run today and I think that's why.

2 miles before and after weight lifting class. 

My house can't seem to stay healthy the last couple of months. Woke up to a vomiting child in the wee hours of the morning. Fun little wake up call. Once I got him cleaned up, sheets changed, and back to bed, I was wide awake. (and the sun hadn't come up yet!)  Managed to get to the gym and home before the husband had to go to work.

afternoon nap. Both of us slept like champions. If there's one thing I'm good at lately, its napping. (and snacking....)

Treadmill miles. My gym is right along the Salt Lake Marathon course so I cheered on a few runners in the pouring rain for a minute as I left. I'm excited to be able to race again in the far future. Hope everyone who raced today did well and didn't get too wet.

2 miles before and after weightlifting class. Feeling a twinge in my right shin (for a couple of weeks now), similar to what I felt after the Utah Valley marathon last June. It was shin splints last time, and I'm pretty sure its shin splints this time. Stress fractures don't usually "warm up" right? It seems like it feels better after I've run 1-2 miles and stretched my calves and achilles. I hope I'm right. I think its related weight gain from pregnancy? I've put on weight but my weekly mileage has stayed about the same. Blahblahblah, wordswordswords...I'm just thinking out loud now....
