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: |

| 11 miles. Awesome weather this morning. I love that we got a little warm up again. I'm pretty sure my sweat tasted like candy corns today. I OD'd a little on the sugar yesterday. Got a little carried away making "haunted gingerbread houses." I swear the candy just jumped in my mouth. :) My love for running AND candy goes hand in hand. :) |

| Today I did a treadmill workout that I haven't done in a long time. I used this workout to get back to running after I had a baby. Its a ladder workout. A certain amount of time spent going fast followed by an equal amount of time for a recovery walk/jog. Here are the numbers. 1 mile warm up, 1 min on (10 mph/6:00 min/mile), 2 min (9.9/6:04), 3 min (9.8/6:07), 4 min (9.6/6:15), 5 min (9.5/6:19), 4 min (9.6/6:15), 3 min (9.7/6:11), 2 min (9.8/6:07), 1 min (9.9/6:04), about 1/2 mile cool down. My recovery jogs were between a 10:00-9:30 min/mile. By the end I was a little nauseated so I know it was a good workout. :) |

2 miles before a weight lifting class and 1 mile after. My hammies are a little sore from yesterdays speedwork, nothing painful, just letting me know they are there. :) I have either a neuroma? or metatarsalgia? some funky business going on on the ball of my left foot. Its annoying, I need to get that figured out. Happy Halloween!

| I was planning on a longer early morning run to take advantage of the still warm weather (so great!) but sleep prevailed... and I'm okay with that. I only managed to get in 3 miles before the husband had to leave for work. Now if I can just keep my hands out of my son's candy loot. (having a kid is an awesome way to score more candy.... totally worth it. :) Next year we plan on teaching him which candy to go for in the candy bowl. Acceptable candy choices are: snickers, starburst, skittles, basically any chocolate and nut combo, or really any chocolate for that matter. Non acceptable candy choices are as follows: tootsie rolls (unless its the fruity kind), suckers, double bubble, smarties (sorry Kam), and nerds. Next year's gonna be great. |

| Friday is usually the treadmill class at the gym. Today it was mostly a series of hills followed by sprints, stairs, and shuffles/grapevine. Butt kicker. |

| I had to run on the treadmill today. I wanted to do a longer run but knew I'd go crazy if I didn't switch it up. I changed the speed every .25 miles. I ranged from about a 9:00 min/mile to a 6:30 mile. I was all over the place but it made the time go by faster. Average pace around 8:15. | | Comments(1) |
