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.

Baby boy made his appearance 10 days ago. He didnt mess around. My water broke at 12 pm and by 2:30, he was here. 7 lbs, 3 oz, 19 inches. We are already in love.

The last 10 days have been full of getting to know each other (and sleeping....or NOT sleeping). I felt good enough to run last Wednesday (did natural childbirth this time, recovery has been sooooo much better!) but held off until today. I did the whole run a minute, walk a minute thing. Made it 3.2 miles, average pace 12:00 min/mi. Speedy gonzalez eh? I am excited to get back into running but I know it will take time and patience to let my body finish healing. Would love any tips from others on getting back into running after pregnancy?

One minute walking, two minutes running. AP 11:00 min/mi. My body felt great but I know I need to take it easy for a while. Trying to relax and go easy is sometimes hard, especially when I can breathe now!

Treadmill run broken up into several segments due to crying babies, a faulty fan, and hulu not streaming my show! (First world problem.) Just glad I got the run in. Average pace 9:40.

Treadmill run. Average pace 9:45. It felt harder today. I think sleep deprivation.is catching up to me.

Attempted a tempo-like run. 2.5 mile easy warm up, 2 miles around 8:10 pace, cool down 2 miles. Definitely sweaty.

Average pace 8:49.

Treadmill workout

1 mile warm up.

Ladder. 1 min fast, 1 min easy, 2 fast, 2 easy, and so on up to 4 min, then back down again. Fast minutes were between 7.5 and 8 mph (8-7:30 min/mi), easy was 6 mph.

.5 mile cool down

Finished up the work out with a tabata sprint on the treadmill. (8.5 mph)

Felt like I kicked my own trash.
