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).

Eric had suggested that I stay in bed since I didn't get to sleep right away last night, but I knew that if I didn't go in the morning I wouldn't want to go after work. I had a little less time at the gym because I had to defrost my window and take a bathroom break, but I was still glad to get in 3 miles (pretty much 8:34 for all) before going home to get ready and catch the bus.

PM: I realized on the way home that I had 97 miles for the month, so I thought about doing the Homecoming 5K course to get to 100. But it was super cold and slickery and dark outside, so I went to the gym instead. The first mile was very slow at a 5% incline, and the last two miles were flat at 8:34.

Way to get out for your run. I heard you guys had more snow? Oh joy.

Thanks, Nan. Yes, more snow. Only 4 more months of winter, though, right?
