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.

Wow,  (not really groundbreaking info here...) its amazing what working out can do for your energy levels and mind set. Worked an all nighter last night and when I woke up, exercising was the very last thing I wanted to do. Somehow managed to drag my sleep deprived but to the gym and worked out on the elliptical for about 55 minutes. About the last 10 minutes, I finally felt awake and good. Feeling much better now and so glad I got myself to go. Why is it that I have to have the same conversations with myself?

Oh dang it, I'm awake. I don't want to go.

You'll feel better.

But laying in bed, napping, and eating cereal all day makes me feel better too.

You never regret a workout.

......Shoot, its true. I never do.

I just saw your possible stress fracture post. Rats! Hopefully it's not one. I thought I had one on my foot in late February and laid off for a while, then it hurt again so did X-Rays but negative. I then ran exclusively on dirt & gravel & it hasn't bothered me since. I hope your leg feels better soon. I think Allie had something similar last year & it seems like she got back into things too quickly post marathon & took a long time to heal. Be smart & good luck.

OH MY!!! So glad to know I am not the only one who battles like that every day!

Glad you got out there and got it done. How do you stay on the elliptical that long? My feet fall asleep at about 15-20 minutes. I really like the machine so I would like to figure it out!
