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.

So excited to go on a run today. I wanted to love the run...but the run didn't love me back. It took a while for the ol calf/shin to warm up and feel ok. Mid run I stumbled my way into a cloud of gnats and managed to eat one and catch another with my eye. That's gotta be one of my main pet peeves when running, eating bugs/getting bugs in your eye. So gross. I also seemed to have something going on in my gut. I had to stop at two different gas stations. Lets just say I'm glad that no one else needed to use the bathroom after me.

Either way, the goal was to complete 10 miles. And I did it, with an average pace of 8:30. (minus the bathroom stops, gagging/coughing fit, and debugging my eyes) Kind of a train wreck but I'll take it.

hmmmm....you are sounding like me...taking time off then running TOO many miles the first day back. THIS time however I ran only 5 miles last week after my two days off. I hope that your injury doesn't recur. you may want to run less mileage on your debut back. But since you didn't ; D--- go ice yourself-- preferably in the river!! sorry about your tummy!!

I know, when will we learn? Thanks for the well wishes! Nice job keeping your mileage lower. Hope you're feeling better too!
