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 body feels worn down. From training? From the last few months of packing, moving, and unpacking? I don't know but I feel exhausted.

| WINDY mile repeats. I had to really fight for my pace. I felt like it was pushing me from all directions. I'm sure the wind was at my back helping me at times but it sure didn't feel like it! Mile repeats with 1/2 mi recovery. 6:54, 7:07, 6:45, 6:52, 6:51

| 1/2 mile repeats with 3 minute recovery jog in between. This was a confidence booster for me. The goal was to start at 3:20 and work my way down for 10 repeats. It went like this: 3:20, 3:19, 3:18, 3:17, 3:16, 3:15, 3:14, 3:13, 3:12, 3:11. I did this on a treadmill so I was able to go exactly a second faster each time. I felt good. My goal for Huntsville is to be in the 3:20-3:15 range. I'm hopeful.

| Something is off today. I do not feel good. If I didn't know any better, I'd think I was pregnant. | | Comments(1) |

| Up and up and up to the Draper temple and back. Feeling weird pains in my groin and hamstrings. I know its nothing serious but still annoying. Still feeling off and blah. Excited to find out how big cottonwood went for everyone. |

| Last hard workout before Huntsville. It was a small tempo. I wanted to be around 7:15 AP. 4 mile warm up and then 3 tempo miles at 7:20, 7:10, 7:00. Didn't plan it that way, I just didn't start feeling good until 2.5 miles into the tempo. 2 mile cool down. I felt sluggish and tired today. Hope I get some spring in my step over the next 10 days. |

| Last little bit of speed before the marathon on Saturday. 1 mile warm up. Mile repeats x3. (goal under 6:55) with 1/2 mile recovery jog in between. Mile repeats were 6:54, 6:51, 6:50. As is always the case, the first one was the hardest, the last one the easiest. 1 mile cool down.

| What a bummer. I'm supposed to be reveling in my post race glory but the universe had different plans for me. I woke up on Friday with a headache and stomach ache. It just kept getting worse. By Friday night, I was puking my face off and had a fever. Alas, no huntsville marathon for me. Last night I could care less about the marathon, I just wanted to not feel like I was gonna die. Today I feel good enough to feel the sting of what was supposed to be and...it sucks. | | Comments(1) |

| Trying to decide if I should do SoJo marathon in less than three weeks. Not my favorite course but I'd hate to not have a race to show for my training.... Plus I've been tapering for three weeks and didn't run a marathon so...do I do another long run this week and then taper for two weeks? I know running isn't my whole life and truthfully, I probably too much effort into it than I should but dangitall, I am bummed I didn't get to race last Saturday. I felt ready. Stupid.

| Mile repeats with 1/2 mile recovery between each one. I ran in the drizzling rain today and loved it. Mile repeats were 6:49, 6:42, 6:49, 6:56, 6:53. Not very consistent. This was a fight, especially the last two. But, after tapering for 3 weeks, it felt good to run faster.
