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: |

| Quads are a little sore from the hills in the race last saturday, nothing too bad, just letting me know they're there. Went for a slow and progressively faster run today. 9 miles, average pace 8:30. Felt good. |

| 9 seems to be the number of the week so far.... Here's the workout from today. 1 mile warm up, 1/2 mile (3:07), 1 mile (6:18), 2 miles (6:40, 6:37), 1 mile (6:20), 1/2 mile (3:06), 1 mile cool down. Recovery jogs between each set. I have a love/hate relationship with speedwork. I love how I feel after, but I hate it the burning in the lungs and legs that inevitably comes with it. |

| 13.75 very slow miles. It took half the run to warm up to a 8:30 min/mile. Average pace was 8:40. I love running in the early fall. The cool air energizes you. I wasn't even planning running today (I usually do a spinning class) but I played nurse to a feverish 2 year old in the wee hours of the morning. After I got the kiddo back to sleep, I realized I wouldn't get a workout in today unless I went right then.... so I did. I'm planning on slowing down the mileage for the rest of the week. I don't want to up it too quickly, and so far this week, I'm doing just that. | | Comments(1) |

3.3 miles at the gym this morning followed by lunges, squats, push ups, dips, and abs. Its been a while since I have lifted, I'm sure I'll be feeling it tomorrow. 2.2 miles in the afternoon on the rickety old treadmill.

I needed the run today. I applied for a job a couple weeks ago, got an interview, and I was pretty sure that I got it. I was more than qualified and it seemed like a better fit for me and my family. (I am going crazy on my current floor) Plus they called me earlier this week to see if they could contact my manager. I was just waiting for the call offering me the job.... it didn't come. Instead, I got an email this morning saying that they had found someone else. Bummer deal. I'm not looking for pity (because at least I have a decent paying job, when so many don't), I'm just explaining why I needed the run.... Onto the workout. I did the treadmill class again at my gym. It was killer. The teacher loves hills...I don't. But I did get some serious speedwork and major hills mixed in. Definitely a harder run than I would have done on my own. It kicked my trash and kicked my pity party out the window. Now I gotta keep looking for a different job.....
