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 got new shoes. I was deciding between Kinvaras, Fastwitches, or some really bouncy or squishy Brooks Pure shoe. The Brooks shoes were too thick and the Fastwitches were too narrow (but I really really wanted them to work because they were an awesome bright red and they have way better tread than the Kinvaras), so I kept the Kinvaras because I've loved my Kinvaras every time except that after my feet grew the ones I had were too small. Then I went out and ran around a couple of blocks to cement the decision. It was dark and I was scared, but I was happy with my shoe choice.

Good choice :)

the older I get the more scared I get of running alone...and in the dark.

RAD - me too. Even though I know that the older I get the less likely I am to be in danger. Statistically.
