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.

I don't know why I just can't lay off it. I know that's what I need to do for my shin, but I'm dumb and ran on it again today. I just want to love running again! Is that so hard? I ran three miles, 20 mins on the bike, and finished up with some lunges, squats, and abs. The husband joined me today so that was a bonus.

Happy 4th of July! Hope its filled with fun, fireworks, fast running, and good food (I'm so sorry I'm so nerdy). Mine will be filled with 3 of the 4. 75% isn't too bad I guess. 

Originally I was planning on running a 5 or 10K today but the shin disagreed. Its an angry little bugger. My brother in law is a physical therapist and he worked on it a little over the weekend. He said my calves are tight (thank you Bam) and surprise surprise I need to be better about stretching them and rolling them out. Hopefully I can race a 5 or 10K a little later in the summer.

I spent the weekend down in St. George with the family. So fun to relax and hang out by the pool. (Way too hot to do much else!) Pretty sure we single handedly kept the Mars candy company in business over this last weekend. My family knows how to put it down when it comes to treats. I come by it naturally. :)

I did a little cross training at the gym today. 10 mins on stair stepper, 10 on the bike, 10 on the elliptical, repeated twice. I really hate cross training.
