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: |

2 miles before and after lifting weights. The legs feel heavy and sluggish today. Here's to hoping a better afternoon run happens...
Wonder of wonder, miracle of miracles, the afternoon run happened. 2.5 miles. Feeling better and not as sluggish. | | Comments(1) |

I can't decide which type of speedwork I like the least: tempo, mile repeats, 800s, etc,... Usually whatever one I'm doing that day. :) But I always like the results that come from faster running.
1 mile warm up, 5 tempo miles, 1 mile cool down. Here's how the tempo miles went 7:08, 7:02, 6:55, 6:53, 6:47. I noticed in between mile 3-4 of the tempo miles is when I started to feel good. I felt like I could have gone longer, I'm hoping this is a good thing... |

4 miles on the treadmill at the gym. Average pace 8:27. Followed by push ups, dips, lunges, squats, biceps. Interestingly enough, my left (my baby carrying bicep) bicep is MUCH stronger than my right... Woopsy, looks like I need to make more of an effort to even things out a bit. Hoping for an afternoon run later today. 2 slow miles later, I made it happen.

I would have loved to run outside on this beautiful fall morning (that's about as pretty as I can make it, sorry to disappoint you Kam) but that would have required me to get up at 4:30 and run outside in the dark. I realize that a lot of you do this on a daily basis (more power to you) but I try to avoid the butt crack of dawn if at all possible. Aaaaaaand I'm not a fan of running in the dark. Every little sound means that someone is chasing me trying to kidnap me. Although, it does make for a faster run....hmm... Long story short, 8.75 miles on the treadmill. Switched the incline or speed every minute. Average speed 8:20, incline between 0.5-4.5%

| I fully intended on doing speedwork today but my legs, head, and overall body wasn't feeling it. Didn't get much sleep last night and decided to take an easier day. I'll add some faster miles to my long run tomorrow. |

| Faster miles didn't so much happen. I feel fine about it. The overall run was faster. Average pace 8:01. Can't wait to read all the race reports! | | Add Comment |
