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
5.00

For the first mile and a half I was pretty bummed about post-baby stuff that I've talked about a bunch already on this blog, but then I decided to suck it up (at least until the next time I get bummed). I figured that I'm doing what I can, and beyond that I should just focus on reaching my goals. Some things I have control over, and some things I don't. And some things I have control over but I psych myself out about them, but that's another story. 

As I was nearing 5 miles I was having a good time so I thought about continuing to run until I didn't feel like running anymore, but then I thought that I'd probably be more likely to be consistent through the week if I kept it to 5. Afterward I told my core who's boss and did 60 hanging leg tucks and 40 crunches on the incline.

Ahhh she is so cute.

Hopefully your postpartum issues resolve soon. You are talented and I can't wait to see you back to your full potential.

Thanks Lily. I'm excited to see what you do this year!
