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).

On Fridays this semester Eric works in Salt Lake, so he takes Elliott to stay with my mom so that I can have the whole day to work. I'm thinking that I'll be most productive if I just go to my office on campus all day, but then I have to figure out what to do about pumping. 

I ran with music for the first part of my run and wanted to match the beat of a song so ended up doing .4 at 6:13. Later I did another .1 to make it an even half mile at 6:13, but other than that it was a pretty boring 3 miles. I can't even remember what was on TV. But I'm on track toward my second 20-mile week in over a year. Eh.

Glad you had a wonderful vaca in the warmth and got some good runs in as well! That Elliott is getting WAY too big - how cute is she?!?

Nice job this week on the miles and hanging in there through the rough quad workout.

Nice to have you back.

Thanks RAD! I didn't end up making it on the miles for the week, but I'll do better this week. :)
