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.

I'm really wishing I had run St. George last weekend! So jealous of all of you hobbling around. (no seriously, I really am!) I guess it could be worse, I could be like my friend who trained her butt off and is super fast (hoping for a possible sub 3). She forgot to set her alarm and woke up about 7 minutes before she was supposed to start. :( Saddest day ever for her.

5.5 miles, average pace 8:11. Followed by squats, lunges, push ups. Definitely a heavy monday and I'm glad its over.

Tempo run today. I felt good but at the end I was definitely ready to be done.

1 mile warm up, 4 tempo miles (7:04, 7:00, 6:55, 6:50), 1 mile easy, 3 tempo miles (6:50, 6:45, 6:42), 1 mile cool down.

8.5 miles, average pace 8:25. Nothing too fancy, a few small hills in the neighborhoods, it felt good to be outside for a change.

Treadmill class at the gym. Again with the hills (10% incline) and speedwork. Good and sweaty. 

The bottoms of my feet have been hurting, just under my toes. I have hardwood floors in my house and it hurts to walk around barefoot. I don't know if its related to running or the fact I wear flats and flip flops all the time? Either way, its been around for about a month and hasn't gotten better, but hasn't gotten worse either.... I've been rotating my running shoes and it seems like its worse when I wear lighter shoes with less cushion.
