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).

Woah. It's July. 

Three miles in a loop around my house. I left at about 8:00 and it was already warm. I wore my Altras and my feet were happy, but maybe I felt twingy in my left knee? But I wonder that every time I run. I feel like the shoes pull me down into a midfoot strike, so I'm maybe going to try some insoles that have a little bit of a heel. But maybe that won't help; in my other shoes, there's kind of a sweet spot at about the balls of my feet that almost propels me forward, so maybe that's what I need. And now I feel like I'm being a drama queen about my shoes.

We could meet down at my "intersection", then run up to some trails in Alpine/Highland???? Would you mind going early before it gets too hot? Maybe 6ish? I'll text you tomorrow

You're totally being a drama queen LOL. :) J/K Don't you hate that, always feeling like there's something going on but then you're not sure if it's real or just because you're paranoid?

Glidergirl - exactly. I feel like a running injury hypochondriac.
