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: |

I don't know what it is with me and the 0.1, but I usually like to end on that when I'm running on the treadmill. Crazy? Maybe.
6.1 miles, Average Pace: 8:20. Felt pretty good, barring the shin issue.
Good luck to everyone racing today! | | Add Comment |

| I don't know what got into me today! What was supposed to be a "cross training day" mixed in with a few miles at the gym, turned into 8 miles on the treadmill. In my defense, I was sucked right into what was on TV and couldn't pull myself off that usually dreaded machine. I watched the womens soccer game between USA and France. I scared a few other people running next to me with my yes!, oh shoot!, awww!, ugh! every 2 seconds. I know this is a running blog, but I love soccer. I felt my stomach muscles flexing every time Abby Wambach headed the ball, so turns out I got a good ab workout too! Workout was 3 miles @ 8:20 min/mile, 1 mile @ 6:40, 2 @ 8:20, 1 @ 6:40, 1 mile cool down. Really no rhyme or reason for this workout. I just felt like getting a little speed (for me that is fast) mixed in with my easy pace. | | Add Comment |

| 3 treadmill miles. AP 8:20. Good news, absolutely no shin/calf pain today! Followed by 20 min on the stair stepper. I'll take it. | | Comments(5) |

| 9.8 miles outside. It was so hot already at 6:00 this morning! Average pace 8:30. I didn't round it out to 10 cuz I had to be back by a certain time. Makes me wish I had a treadmill so I could do 0.2 miles. :) Speaking of treadmills, I'm looking into getting one. (Crazy, dreadful things I know) Anyone have any good recommendations? I'm not super rich so I'd like one that would still allow me to buy groceries for the rest of the year but I don't want one that is going to break down easily. The allure of it is being able to run during nap time.... Speaking of nap time, my child has figured out how to get out of the crib. This is a very sad day. Very sad day indeed. He is banging on his door saying "Hep (help) me! Hep me!" as I type this. Anyone have any recommendations for getting them to still take naps?... Please, I need naps for my sanity... | | Comments(1) |
