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.

Seems like Mondays, I find every excuse not to go out and run. Let me just do this one thing first, okay-ONE more thing, let me just put these things away and THEN I'll go...yadda, yadda, yadda. And before I know it, its time to get back. So, what should have been 7 miles, was only 3.5. Thank goodness for free/old/rickety treadmills and naptime. Hopefully today will be a double day. I'm "putting it down on paper" cuz its more likely to happen right? Right. Here's to 3-4 miles this afternoon....

Woohoo! 4 miles this afternoon, but only cuz Andrea threatened me. :)

I did a progressive tempo run today. Don't really know if that's a real running term, but it describes what my run was like today. It was comfortably hard.

1 mile warm up, 7:07, 7:02, 6:58, 6:53, 6:48, 6:42, 3 miles cool down.

I felt like it was easier for my mind and body to adjust to going faster each mile instead of banging them all out at just under 7.

Zombie run today. I worked a night shift last night and it took everything I had to get out the door this afternoon. When I woke up, I felt like I had been hit by a truck, more so than usual. Maybe the combination of speedwork yesterday followed by staying up all night? So painful. Didn't start feeling awake until mile 4. Is sleep running possible? :) 9 miles later I feel so much better and like a functional human being. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times, thank goodness for running. It makes me feel awake and alive in more ways than one...

No internet for the past two days, turns out they turn it off if you don't make the payment...who knew? Weight lifting class today followed by 5 quicker miles only because the daycare was about to close...with my child in it. Average pace 7:37.
