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 before church. I'm *so* ready to have my normal body back. It felt like a lot farther than it really was.

A short jaunt down the street.

Baby had a weight check today and was up to 6 pounds 3.5 ounces - almost a pound above her birth weight of 5 pounds 5.9 ounces!

Almost three minutes per mile faster than normal (for me right now). I was running to the Smart Cookie store, so I stepped it up to a pace that felt like I was pushing (but not too hard). It was still a bunch slower than I used to be, but it gave me a lot of confidence to see some improvement.

Barefoot (because I didn't feel like changing out of my regular clothes/flip flops) on the treadmill at the hotel at Eric's family reunion for a half mile (because that's how long it took before I started peeing myself). 

I'm registered for a 5K on Monday - a bunch of people in Eric's family are running it or the half marathon (Freedom races in Salt Lake), and I thought I'd be able to beat the cousin who had her baby 10 weeks ago. But she decided to upgrade to the half. *And* she can breastfeed her baby. I'm such a dud.

On the treadmill at the hotel with Eric. His parents watched Baby for us. It's the first time we've exercised together since back in the day.
