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).

I tagged along with Eric on his run with Jun and Jun's friend today on a flat-ish trail up some canyon. I was really happy with the pace on the way out, and I loved the trail and kept wishing we lived closer to it. It was also fun listening to Eric and Jun talk about shoes and stuff.

Then I had a Gu just before the turnaround point and somehow it kicked my digestive system into overdrive or something. I had to poop three stupid times over the last half of the run. Eric was nice enough to wait for me, and he even offered to gather leaves in case I ran out of toilet paper (he's such a good provider).

Lame about the trots, but other than that it was a really enjoyable run on a trail perfect for Catherine. I'm glad I got to go, and I hope to frequent the trail many more times in the future.

I'm telling you, those giant leaves in the shade looked nice and soft ;)

CATHERINE!!!! I didn't know it was three times. I thought it was just once. Oh my gosh, that is freaking hilarious. And, technically, I'm sorry. That being said, I'm still laughing. 3 times. Whoa! I hope you feel better now. Thanks for coming. That was a lot of fun.

Oh, and I also love the fact that you didn't know what canyon you were in. Nothing better than just being along for the ride.

What a fun trail run with the legendary jun..except for the poopy stops! yikes! The giant leaves make me laugh so hard!

Man, I had to stop 3 times too, thank goodness there was gas station and a grocery store on my route. :)

I agree with KP. My wife would have kept on running. :)
