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 makes amazing chocolate chip cookies. They're so good because he makes them with love, and tonight they were even better because he used dark chocolate chips. They're kind of what I had for dinner before my run. I ended up regretting this during my run, but now I'm over it and back on the cookie-eating wagon. 

I can't emphasize enough how much I hate it when someone gets on the treadmill right next to mine when there are a million open treadmills. I always move now. I know this makes me sound unfriendly, but I need my space.

Remember the new shoes that are too big? I emailed Running Warehouse and they're going to take them back even though I ran in them. They're awesome. Way better than that other place where Burt gets everything for free. I think I'm just going to go back to Launches for reals this time. Even though that probably means I'll have more injuries.*

*I don't really mean this.

Although I enjoy chatting while I run, I always look for a TM with a buffer zone. Just makes life easier.

Isn't it great when things work out well? Enjoy the new/old shoes :)
