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).

Total Distance

A mile around the neighborhood at noon. Hot, but I wasn't out for very long. I wanted to just run easy since we're doing the 10k tomorrow (and this was kind of just running to not have 0 on the calendar), but I saw that I was going at about a 9:00 pace and I thought, "self, maybe it's time to change your easy speed." So I finished in 8:30. And then I thought, "self, let this be a lesson - you can always find 8 and a half minutes in a day. Don't be such a slacker." 

Good luck to everyone running/racing tomorrow! Say hi to me and Eric if you see us.

I was working the Altra booth all day yesterday at packet pick-up. How did I not see you?

Jun - my mom picked up our packets. Too bad you guys weren't at the race!
