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.

8 miles.

I have a little Monday morning riddle.

What rhymes with: Time javing a haby?

Yep, September 3rd is the big due date. Feeling all sorts of emotions: excited, scared, happy, jealous (of all you racing fools), content, ....welcome to pregnancy I guess.

7 miles outside! Woohoo for outside running. Not sure on speed. Slow.

I'm trying not to worry too much about pace since I've gotten pregnant. It seems as though the moment I found out, it became so hard to run at my normal easy pace. Easy pace has now become hard. I know that's normal but still...not fun to watch yourself get slower and slower so quickly. I need to remember to appreciate my body and what it is capable of. (running AND supporting/growing a baby)

My goal is to run for as long as I can during this pregnancy. With my first child, I tore my ACL in a soccer game the week I found out I was pregnant. That meant no running, no surgery until after the baby. It made for a loooooong nine months.

Outside miles. Ran by Great Harvest. The bready goodness radiates for miles around that place. Don't know if that was a good or a bad thing. I may have to make a stop there today.....

Don't know what's gotten into me. I felt like my "normal" self today. My pace was still slower (around an 8:45 min/mile) but I felt like I could run forever. 6 miles turned into "just one more".... Maybe it was the fuel from my Great Harvest bread run yesterday.

All good things must come to an end. I knew that because I felt so great yesterday, chances were I'd be paying for it today....And I did. I don't know if it was because it was on the treadmill (mentally harder for me) or just because.... but my body let me know that it wasn't invincible. Once again, I need to respect the process (of growing a baby) and just be thankful I can run. Average pace was around a 9:00 min/mile. Lunges, squats, dead lifts after.
