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).

Another attempt at the pool running, this time after reviewing the things that Bonnie posted. The video helped a lot. I think I was successful. Eric wasn't so much. He thinks he's too tall. I think he needs to watch the video.

I also tried regular swimming. It kicked my butt. I could only do four laps before I felt super out of breath. Eric says it looked normal, so I think I just need more practice. I like that it makes me tired, though.

I love pool running, with someone. Well, really it's kind of awkward and isn't much fun, but it is good x-training especially prego!!

I can't breathe in the water when I do real swimming, I'm a land breather and it takes a while to learn how to control my breath again in the water. Keep at it - you'll get it!

Nice job always hanging with it!!

Well, that's 3 more laps than I could do without getting out of breath. Swiming is hard.
