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: |

| Treadmill mile repeats today with 1/2 mile recovery in between. 1 mile warm up and 1.5 mile cool down. Mile repeats were 7:50, 7:45, 7:40, 7:35, 7:30. For future reference, I can start out faster than I think. |

| 6 easy miles on the treadmill this morning. I have eye surgery today..... spooky! I've been having double vision on and off that has gotten progressively worse over the last 3 years (look what having children has done to me!). Most people wouldn't run on the day of surgery but I'm crazy like that. I'm super nervous so that's how I deal with it, run it out. I'm sure many of you get it. Wish me luck. By the end of the day, I'll be a pirate.

| Slow miles on the treadmill with the eye doc's approval. I was suprised to hear I could run as soon as I felt up to it. No sports with balls for the next little while. Gotta protect this money maker face of mine. (That or just protect my eye....)
Surgery went well. Here's to seeing just one of everything!

| Easy slow treadmill miles. Funny experience at the gym today. So my eye is super red from the surgery. I've had a few people ask me if I have pink eye. (I don't) A guy got on the treadmill next to me and I could feel him looking at me. I took a drink from my water bottle and it went down the wrong tube so I started coughing like crazy. After a minute of my coughing attack, he actually got off the treadmill right next to me and moved about 3 treadmills down. Ha! He probably thought I was an infestation of bacteria. Sorry dude. I should have itched my eye and then tried to shake his hand.... :) |

| Outside miles today. 1 mile warm up followed by 2 faster miles, 2 recovery miles, 2 faster miles, 2 recovery miles, 2 faster miles, 1 mile cool down. My garmin is being wonky so I don't know paces but I'm pretty sure the faster miles were between 7:45-8:15 min/miles.
And now we feast.
Happy Thanksgiving!

| Every few weeks I've been doing the same tempo run just so I can see and measure my progress. Here are today's tempo miles compared to the same run 2 and 6 weeks ago. Its an out and back course that starts out downhill so of course, it ends uphill, hence the slow down. Today I really felt that I couldn't go faster. Fun to see progress. I'm a nerd.
