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).

It was about 9:30 tonight before we were done with everything, and I still needed to go to the gym. I kind of didn't want to go, but then I thought, "What would Nan (or Allie or Melody or Lily or any number of people on the blog) do?" Probably they wouldn't have waited until it was so late to go to the gym. But if they *did* find themselves in such a situation, I'm sure they'd go. So I went. It was fine. I walked (semi-briskly) for 30 minutes at the 12% incline, and based on my heart rate and how much I sweat I decided it was similar to an easy run. That made me feel better. 

Then I did fake pullups and dips, and Eric helped me with the bench press. My goal is to be able to lift the bar on my own. :)

It *is* a very heavy bar ;)

I'm impressed with your dedication. I probably would have gone to bed - but it's taken me almost 9 months to relax about taking a day off :)

You know me so well. Of course I'd go! nice work! :)
