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 bunch of the women in my neighborhood get together for lunch every so often, so today I went. One of the women runs a few times a week, so we made plans to make plans to run together sometime. It would be nice if there were someone nearby that I could run with once in awhile. Plus, she runs in the mornings, so that would help me transition to morning instead of night running (like I've been wanting to do but haven't since most of the time I can't bear to get out of bed before Elliott makes me). 

I still like the Altras, but I think they stretched.

"we made plans to make plans". It's a two step process.

That would be great to have someone around to get up in the morning for :) I know it always helps me! Well, someone other than Elliott. Otherwise, I'd probably sleep everyday until noon!

Nice job on the miles and I sure hope the Altra's stretch isn't a bad thing.

Jun - it really is.

RAD - Thanks! And I think the shoes will be fine. Most of my shoes have stretched or packed out a little, so I always end up having to just tie the laces tighter.
