Short-Term Running Goals:

Now that I'm (almost for sure) done having all the babies, I'm working on building consistency and seeing how fast I can get in my old age. ;)

Long-Term Running Goals:

I'd like to be a healthy and relatively injury-free runner for the rest of my life.  

Personal:

I'm married to Eric (Faceless Ghost on the blog) and we have very active daughters and one dog. I have a PhD in sociology and demography, and I'm incredibly grateful to have work that is meaningful and that builds on my academic experience. I run because it makes me feel strong and it helps to keep the crazy away (there is a long history of abuse and mental illness in my extended family).

A mile and a half at the gym before I had to watch presentations for the online class.

After the presentations (but before it was dark) I went out for a loop (3.5) around the Mt Timpanogos temple that I've been wanting to do since we moved here. It was a little rough. On the way up I was thinking that I didn't want to wuss out on the hill, and then the thought of the jelly bellies and two servings of ice cream I had had earlier kept me going. By the time I was a little over half done I wanted to call Eric to come get me. But I kept going, and even though I was super slow I'm glad I finished.

I signed up for the Tour de Donut on Saturday. Mostly because I want the excuse to eat as many donuts as I can. Partly because it raises money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. I haven't ridden a bike since last fall-ish, but hey...the donuts...

Here's a picture of Baby.

i just heard about this 'tour de donut' from a co-worker and it sounds like a lot of fun. i would never survive something like that because i have the weakest stomach on the planet. i hear the strategy is to eat 2/3 of your total amount of donuts on the first loop. also, lick every donut you pick up so you are not tempted to put any back :) have fun! i look forward to hearing about it.

cute picture!
