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.

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....

I don't really know anything about anything but I would definitely error on the side of caution. Stress fractures can come on very gradually. Ice it, eat more icecream (for the calcium of course), and loaf around on the couch more this week. :)
