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).

2 miles on the Orem rec center track with Eric after we both went to Zumba with his sister. Seeing Eric take a Zumba class was the highlight of my week. ~7:50 pace.

Great pace!! I've never tried Zumba, do you like it?

Thanks Carina. Zumba's pretty fun, but I don't think I'd like doing it all the time. Or maybe I'd like it more if I did it all the time because I'd know all the routines?

I've taken group classes in the past, but I always feel like I look like a fool cause I can never figure out the routine!!

Allie - it was awesome. He looked kind of like a dinosaur. But really he did pretty good - he definitely wasn't the worst in the class.

I tried it once and couldn't really get into the craze that's going on right now either. But I would go more often if I got to watch my hubby shake his booty. Hahaha :)

Oh, I just imagine MY hubby doing zumba and I'm laughing! I couldn't have made it through the class!! I do like Zumba...as long as I don't see myself in the mirror :) Becca (bec) just got certified to teach zumba and was going to do a class while she is here over Christmas...anyone interested?!?
