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 little later than yesterday - Eric and I both slept in a little too much and got a later start on our runs. But since it was light out I just ran from my house instead of driving to campus. Also I wore the Altras - I put in an additional insole that I thought might stop the shoe from pulling me into a midfoot strike (as I feel it's wont to do), so we'll see. They're just so wide and durable - I bet they'd last for 2,000 miles. Or I have no idea how long they'd last for. But if my knee starts hurting, they're dead to me.

nice run this morning. let me know if those shoes really do last for 2,000 miles -- that's an awesome investment.

Thanks Allie. I'll let you know on the shoes.

Eric's getting close to 1,000 on his MR10s. And he weighs a lot more than I do.
