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).

We don't have interviews until later this afternoon, so I slept in a little bit and then went down to the less-nice "fitness center" (really a treadmill and elliptical and two bikes and a TV in a regular hotel room) for my five miles. I really did think about going outside, especially since Valley Forge is four miles away and I thought it would make a nice out-and-back, but it was 32 degrees and all I had was shorts and a little jacket. Maybe I would have gone if I had remembered my hat and gloves. Maybe not. Anyway, 8:34 for all, and mile 4 was with the incline set at 2.0. 

Three more nights!

"It's Valley Forge. They used the L and E twice."

"Uh, weird. I don't have that."

What's that from?

Let's wait to see if anyone else knows.

I don't know, so I hope you're not waiting for me :)

If you google it, this blog is the first and only hit.

great run in the less-nice fitness center.

Maybe I didn't hit it spot on (I'm bad at movie quotes), but it's from National Treasure when he is trying to get into the records room and the keys are glowing.

If you get a chance to drive (or run!) through VF do it. It is so beautiful and the history is amazing. Glad your trip is going by quickly. I thought it was cute that FG couldn't sleep the other night. Awwww :)

Jun - Sorry no one guessed it. :)

Melody - We drove through it and went through some of the buildings today. There are still gold and red leaves on the trees, and it was really pretty. Fall here makes me want to move to the East. I saw the five-mile walking loop and thought it would have been perfect to run on, but I don't have any free time during the warm-enough-for-Catherine-to-run-outside parts of the day. Oh - and Eric's not sleeping was probably because of an ill-timed Pepsi and not at all because I was gone. Oh well. :)

Aww--you just made me look bad :)

Jun lost me....and I own that movie :)

If you could have run there, that would have been sweet. But glad you got some in the dreadmill...heaven knows it really is better than doing nothing :)
