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 renewed our gym memberships today. So I did three sets of knee raises and a mile on the treadmill in the cardio cinema to Juno. I like the gym. It's peaceful there.
And here's a picture of cute Elliott. She's growing up into a funny little girl.

funny how your perception of the gym changes after children :)
Nice work in the sweat box!

Thanks Rachel! And yes, it's definitely different after Elliott. I even feel like work is a break sometimes. (I love Elliott to bits and pieces, though.)

What a cute little thing!
Yes, I understand. Trust me...I've got 4 of them. Although I love them all and wouldn't trade them for the world there is a good reason I throw them in chuck a child for an hour or two a day to exercise. It is the only break I get!!

She is wicked-cute, that's for sure.
