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).

After my class (guest speaker! Didn't have to prepare a lecture!) I did the 3 mile loop around campus in the beautiful sunshine. Maybe sometime my legs will be tan. Right now the whiteness highlights the cellulite. I saw a lean runner girl on the track and committed myself to eating better. A mile later the smell of burgers at the creamery reminded me that I had only eaten a few graham crackers all day. And a half mile after that I ran past some Girl Scouts selling cookies, and I committed myself to buying some. I got the peanut butter ones, the lemon ones, and the Samoas (they're still called Samoas?). I like thin mints, but really to me they're just like the grasshopper cookies that are available all year. 

After I got home I went to the gym for 4.38 more miles. Then I came home and had bacon and a green smoothie (new blender!).

I have thoughts back and forth like that in a run about 50 times! Nice job getting the miles in all over and don't worry about that tan - it'll come :)
