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).

A 5k at Eric's school. Almost the same course as the BYU Homecoming 5k. I wanted to sit down and cry on the uphill part, but we made it in with the first stroller.

There was a girl there with weird-looking Launches. It turned out that she had someone take the soles off, make it so there's zero drop, and add in some sort of 1,500-mile sole. Also that Jon guy who won Deseret News was there, and obviously he beat everyone by like 20 minutes.

I haven't been running much since I went back to work full-time, but next week is my last week of that. Also, it bums me out to run wearing a diaper. Not as much as having pee pants, but still quite a bit. I'm working on the kegels.

Nice race Catherine! Pushing a stroller is no easy feat - especially on the uphills!! I was just a few miles down the road, we should've met up for an after race treat :)

Good luck with your last week of work and getting rid of diapers AND pee pants! :)

Thanks friends.

RAD - Eric was pushing the stroller. :) And too bad I missed another chance to meet you! Someday...
