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).

Barefoot (because I didn't feel like changing out of my regular clothes/flip flops) on the treadmill at the hotel at Eric's family reunion for a half mile (because that's how long it took before I started peeing myself). 

I'm registered for a 5K on Monday - a bunch of people in Eric's family are running it or the half marathon (Freedom races in Salt Lake), and I thought I'd be able to beat the cousin who had her baby 10 weeks ago. But she decided to upgrade to the half. *And* she can breastfeed her baby. I'm such a dud.

Hahaha. I was just catching up on your blog and decided this is the post I have to comment on. Gotta love the ol' post-baby bladder. I peed myself for months after each kid. I'm sorry to admit, I still do sometimes. My bladder is just not the same.

Keep working with breastfeeding, it will pay off. Make sure her mouth opens up BIG before she latches on. I saw the picture of her and she is gorgeous!!
