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).

A couple of the spouses were doing 10 miles today because they're doing the Halloween Half (I'm still thinking about it, but I'm not crazy excited about charging down the steep downhill on a narrow path with a million people) so I went with them. We met at the mouth of Provo Canyon at 6:00 and went out for an out-and-back with a planned 9:00 pace. It was a bit slower than that, but it was still enjoyable. Unfortunately, I had to poop in the woods.

9:37, 9:44, 10:48, 10:53, 10:18, 9:28, 7:48 (this is when I was catching back up after my stop), 9:43, 9:34, 8:21 (a little bit of a breakaway pack), 11:50 for the .23 (running back to regroup) (9:42 ap)

Glad you had a good group to run with! I always love Provo Canyon! By the time you hit Vivian Park and the narrow trail it is pretty spread out. The wide road the first mile of HH isn't quite so spread out, but by Vivian it is good.
