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: |

Same old, same old. Cross training like a maniac. Have I mentioned that I just want to run? I guess I'm learning the art of patience. Weight lifting class today followed by 30 mins on the elliptical. PM Workout: Jumping on the tramp with this big fella. Turns out jumping with a two year old is quite the workout! Ring around the rosies works up a good sweat.

| It has been about 10 days since I last ran. I did 4 easy miles on the treadmill with a 0.5% incline. Average pace was 8:45. It felt surprisingly good. I'm guessing the key is to not go all out and jump right back into it? I'm not going to run again until friday. After the 4 miles on the treadmill, I did 20 min on the elliptical, followed by some ab work. When I got home, I foam rolled, used the stick, and am now wearing compression socks. How is that picture below so dang big? Anyone know how to make pictures smaller? I mean, my two year old is cute but maybe you don't need to see him that large and charge. | | Add Comment |

| Spin class at the gym today. I was certainly a sweaty beast. I don't know if the air conditioning was broken or it was because of the on and off storms but the humidity in the gym was insane. By the end of it, I looked and felt like I had jumped in a pool. That's my kind of workout. I love the Wednesday teacher. I don't usually love spin, but she makes it worth it. | | Comments(1) |

| Lifting class. Nothing special. I love doing squats, lunges, dead lifts. But when it comes to shoulders, triceps, and especially biceps? Shoot me now. 20 min elliptical. We're seeing more of each other than I'd like. | | Add Comment |

| So excited to go on a run today. I wanted to love the run...but the run didn't love me back. It took a while for the ol calf/shin to warm up and feel ok. Mid run I stumbled my way into a cloud of gnats and managed to eat one and catch another with my eye. That's gotta be one of my main pet peeves when running, eating bugs/getting bugs in your eye. So gross. I also seemed to have something going on in my gut. I had to stop at two different gas stations. Lets just say I'm glad that no one else needed to use the bathroom after me. Either way, the goal was to complete 10 miles. And I did it, with an average pace of 8:30. (minus the bathroom stops, gagging/coughing fit, and debugging my eyes) Kind of a train wreck but I'll take it. | | Comments(2) |

| 2 slow miles before and after a weight lifting class at the gym. If this makes any sense, my shin/calf is hurting less and less after each run. I'm counting this as progress? Yes. | | Add Comment |
