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).

I think I'm getting burned out on the walking on the treadmill thing. *So* excited to try the pool tomorrow. 30 minutes on a bike, 30 minutes walking up a fake hill.

Also, I know I'm supposed to gain weight because I'm pregnant, but I feel like mostly I'm just getting fatter. I feel bad for eating more, especially since I'm not running, but I'm just so hungry...

And Eric did *great* on his first-semester grades. We should all congratulate him for his hard work while still running and spending time with me at home. :)

Weight: 115.80

Your husband is a meathead. And he's pretty smart. Congrats on dealing with a monster first semester.

Congratulations to your husband! How did the pool running go? Or swimming?

Hope all is well, I just checked out your blog -- you are a cutie. What are you teaching this semester?

woot woot! Finding a good balance is always hard. Enjoy the eating, I always feel more 'fat' than actually pregnant looking.

Bonnie - it was awesome! Thank you so much! I'm teaching an online intro to sociology class and a regular sociology of gender class. But they're for fun and extra money and not my regular job.

Good job on the grades! I'm glad you had fun working out in the pool. It's nice to change things up once in a while. Don't worry about the chubby phase of pregnancy - you'll pop out in another month or two and wish you just looked chubby! :)
