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.

First day back running! It felt pretty good. Not surprisingly, a little tight everywhere. I started out at a 9:30 pace and worked my way down to a 8:15 pace. 8:30 average for 4 miles.

So I wore the heart rate monitor while running today. I don't know if its because I worked a night shift and ran after I woke up from my nap or if my heart is super conditioned (sarcasm there) but I had a hard time getting my heart rate up. It stayed around 130 the whole time and usually my heart rate goes up to about 140-155 while I run. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the marathon and my recovery? Or maybe I was just super tired from working all night? Who knows.

Good luck to everyone running Ragnar! I'm kinda jealous.

Don't I know it! My eyes have been twitching for 2 weeks straight now from lack of sleep! I guess you'll get your fair share of sleep deprivation this weekend though....
