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.

Slow and sluggish today. Close to a 10 min/mile pace. Yesterday I was around 9 min/miles. hmmmm...

Riddle me this: what makes some days feel so great and some days feel....notsogreat? I would love to know what it going on physiologically in my body (and maybe mind too?) that makes the difference.

Although my actual weight has only gone up about 1/2 pound in the last four weeks, I am definitely getting bigger. Running is becoming more of a chore...Boo. Took a "break" today and ellipticalled it out with the big sis. We had a good therapy session.

Zip, zilch, nada...

Here's to hoping some sort of motivation comes back soon.

Dr. Google and I have concluded that I have shin splints. And it hurts. I don't know if its the weight gain with pregnancy? Cuz I certainly haven't increased my mileage or done speed work in the last 7 months. Here's why I think its shin splints: more pain in the morning (it seems to "warm up" as the day goes on), its more of a generalized area than a localized point, I get bad cramps at night in my calves and I'm pretty sure this has tightened them up quite a bit. Sooooo...I'm not running for a few days, stretching, icing, and rolling.....Lets hope I'm right.

Elliptical and stair stepper today. 20 mins on each. That's about all my brain could handle.
