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).

After I hiked a mile at 9% (I know many run at that, but I don't) I stopped in the bathroom for a sec and heard someone talking about an awesome class that puts muscles in between the ribs. So I went to it. It was the pilates toning class and it was pretty much core stuff and exercises similar to what the PT told me to do for my knee. And some stuff that's like doing the barre on the ground. I liked it. Then I ran 3 miles at 4%.

Only 4 again, but this time it was running the whole time at 4%. Using the incline makes me sweat a lot more. It's pretty gross. Still not like how Eric sweats, though. When he does the stair machine it's like it's been raining. And my knee hurt during the last mile, so I think I'm moving into more of a long-term-fix mindset.
