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. Favorite Blogs: |

| My training plan called for a longer double digit run but it didn't happen. We are in the middle of a family reunion and I didn't want to miss out on the festivities. |

| Mile repeats with 1/2 mile recovery in between each repeat. 2 mile warm up, mile repeats were 7:10, 7:03, 7:02, 6:53. 2 mile cool down. This was hard today. For some reason it took a while to get my legs going, hence the first mile being the slowest and hardest by far. It seemed that the wind was against me every directionI turned. |

| My sister in law invited me to do this race two weeks ago. I jumped at the chance to see where I was in my preparation for Huntsville. My goal was to get under 1:35. I was pleased to see that I squeaked in just under. I really enjoyed this race. The course was beautiful and fast and most of it was in the shade. Its now on the list to do again. I felt a twinge in my back around mile 6.5. Ever since I had my baby, my lower back has been giving me a little trouble. I don't know if it was all the downhill? I was trying not to lean back and fight against the downhill. I know my core is still a little weak, just reaffirmed to me that I need to get stronger there. Here are the splits.
7:14, 7:21, 7:24, 7:06, 7:00, 7:02, 7:04, 7:15, 7:40, 7:19, 7:27, 7:21, 7:07, and I forgot to stop my watch so I don't know what the last .1 was but I was running as fast as my legs would let me.
I was happy that I was able to meet my goals and my cute sister law ran the race in under 1:45 at 3 months pregnant. I wouldn't have dreamed of doing that, I would have puked everywhere for sure. We both went home happy.

| Yep, my back is a little sore today. Darn core. I did some planks today after the run. My bum is also surprisingly a little sore too?! Nothing bad but just more than I anticipated for all the downhill in the race. Felt good to run today. Nice and easy.

| Turns out rich people in sandy live on massive hills in massive homes. Pretty views and heavy breathing on my run today. |

| 10 is the new 7. I used to think 7 miles was the best distance. Now 10 feels good.

| 7 treadmill miles. It was a necessary evil. I didn't wake up to my alarm this morning. Had to utilize the gym daycare. I switched it up by running 3 minutes at a slow pace (6.5 mph), 2 minutes at a moderate pace (7.5), and 1 minute at a faster pace (8.5). Then moved to 2 minutes at each speed and then 3 minutes at a fast pace, 2 at a moderate, and 1 at a slow. It broke up the monotony of treadmill running.

| The plan was to do 6-8 1/2 mile repeats fast with 3 minute recovery between each one. The universe had different plans. Squeeky treadmills, a humid gym, inconsiderate people moving my fan, and my ipod pooping out made for a frustrating workout! Nevertheless, I got 7 1/2 mile repeats done. Here are the times 3:30, 3:27, 3:25, 3:23, 3:20, 3:18, 3:15. I feel like I could have done more if I had the time but I wasted so much time dealing with broken treadmills and faulty fans that the daycare was going to close so I had to go. Boo to stressful workouts!
