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).

At the track with Tigger and Eric. It was kind of painful after the first lap - like some sort of side ache or stitch in my abdomen/tummy - but I kept going. Later Baby was bopping all around, so I know she's fine. I'm going to stick it out until Friday to see if the pain goes away - maybe it's just soreness after not running for awhile (and then being 20 pounds heavier).

I wanted to keep up with my running-every-day goal. But during the second lap my abdomen hurt, my inner thighs hurt, my pelvis hurt, and my back-bum (the SI joint problem) hurt. So I decided to stop. I felt like such a wuss. Plus, I *want* to run. Nothing else makes my leg muscles feel good. And I want to be able to get back to it soon after Baby comes. I'm really disappointed in my body. I expected more from it. 

I guess it's cool that it's growing a person, though.
