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 went with Eric to the gym tonight to try my new puffy-tummy swimsuit for the first time. I did about 25 minutes of back-and-forth kind of water jogging with the foam weights, and then I did regular swimming for 6 lengths. It was fun because I could see Eric every time I was on one side since he was on a treadmill overlooking the pool. There were also some triathletes doing laps, and a guy in the hot tub who kept trying to have arguments with people. 

The six lengths kicked my trash. Eric says it's because I'm spending too much effort on keeping myself out of the water (I'm afraid of getting the nasty pool water in my mouth). I'm going to work on it.

I need to swim....

Hey so did you see that we are at the same aid station for the buffalo run? I am excited to help out :)

I saw that! Except I think they're going to change my assignment because I told them I could help just while Eric was doing his race, and I want to be at the start/finish when he starts/finishes. But I'll probably see you anyway, and do you know who else from the blog is going to be there? Someday I want to meet more bloggers in real life than Burt has.

Oh - and if you wanted, I'd come to Orem and swim with you. Or you can come to the water aerobics class Eric and I are going to tomorrow night in American Fork. :)

Swimming is SO nice when you're prego! I hope you enjoy it. You guys will be at the Buffalo run? I'm going to cheer in Kelli as she finishes her 50, well, I'm hoping to.

More bloggers than me??? Thou shalt not covet.

Hey, I have a better idea for a calendar. Pregnant bloggers. Eh, you like? (said with French accent.(

From catherine on Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 11:36:09 from 216.49.181.254

Rachel - yes, Eric's running the 50k and I'm volunteering. I wish we had an "upcoming races" feature on here to know who's going to be at what races. Or at least FRB armbands or something to identify each other...

Burt - Are there 12 pregnant bloggers?

From Toby on Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 20:41:01 from 216.194.124.36

Ugh...swimming is not my favorite. It always reminds me of being injured. Glad you like it...you can swim for me!

From Burt on Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 13:27:15 from 206.19.214.144

Currently I don't know if there are 12, but I can probably name 12 that have been pregnant. Those that are pregnant now are you, KellieS, and RunningAfterBabies.

Previously pregnant - Merri, Leandra, Camille, Fast Running Mommy, Lybi, Josse, Misty, RAD, and MarcieJ. That should make a pretty good calendar.
