Half-marathon: 1:41:41, 8/28/2010 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). Favorite Blogs: |

| | 3 miles in the morning to make up for not running yesterday, then 5 in the evening. 8:49 for all. Glee was on tonight. Rachel has a six-pack? Maybe I should put in some elliptical time.

| | Usually Eric wakes up at about 5:00 and leaves for his morning run, and I wake up at about 6:00 and get ready to catch the bus at 6:29 (yeah...since we moved to Provo I've reduced my morning routine to just brushing my teeth and taking a shower). The bus brings me home at about 5:00, and then Eric and I go to the gym and get/make (usually get) dinner and I'm in bed at about 9:30 (Eric usually stays up late to study). (Yes, this brings up the question of why I need so much more sleep than Eric does. I don't know. I just know that when I don't get 8-9 hours of sleep a night I get really cranky and anxious and cry-ish.) This week, though, I have to spend more time at work, so I'm driving every day and I went to the gym with Eric at 5:30 this morning so that I don't have another Monday (when I got home at bedtime and didn't want to run). My legs felt more tired than they did last night, and it took two miles until I felt like I didn't want to quit. I was tired at the fake pullups and dips, too, but everything went okay and it was nice to get the (shortish) run out of the way early in the day. Maybe I could shift my sleep and do my run every morning. Or maybe I could get used to just 7 hours of sleep. Or maybe after this week I'll just go back to the evening runs. 9:14 for 3, 7:30 for 1.

| | The hard part of this week is over! I got about 4 hours of sleep last night, so I was pretty tired by the end of the day. The three miles were at 9:14 during an okay episode of Friends (the last two seasons just weren't as good), then I did hanging leg lifts and Eric and I hung out in the hot tub for a few minutes. |

| | I though I'd get back to the gym again later in the day, but I didn't. I should have just gotten it done the first time I was there. |
