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).

Total Distance

3.00

I didn't pull the all-nighter I had planned for last night. At about 3 I decided that it would be better to go to bed and just wake up early, so I got about 4 hours of sleep. I think Eric got about 3.

And have I mentioned what a dumb idea it was for me to promise a multiple-choice section on the midterm? Such a dumb idea. Multiple-choice questions are whack.

So anyway, I'm still working on the stupid test (and getting more behind on everything else) and didn't make it to the gym in time to finish my 5 before they closed. Gyms that close at midnight are whack.

Also I got the PureConnect shoes I had ordered. First, when RoadRunnerSports says "free shipping," really they mean free outbound shipping (if you buy their stupid 1.99 membership) and 9.95 to send shoes back. The customer service person I talked to said that they'll waive the return shipping, but we're still not ordering from them again. Second, there's a lot of cush in the arch and the heel feels thick (even though the drop is the same as with the Kinvaras). I'm going to keep looking for my dream shoes.

I get all my shoes free from Roadrunner :)

That's probably why they have to charge everyone else for return shipping.

I know. Sorry about that.

I always use the word "whack". But not because I watch Friends. In fact, when I saw that the youtube video was from Friends, I didn't watch it.

Your sister hates Friends? I like her.

She said she doesn't hate Friends. She just doesn't care about it.

She said that? Well, does she hate Oprah?
