catherine's running efforts

I have a friend who wants to lose a lot of weight who just started going to the gym. She's gone every day for 3 weeks. It makes me feel like I should be more consistent. It's a lot easier for me physically, even with whatever issues I have. Plus I want to have toned legs again. And not keep 8 extra pounds every time I have a baby.

First time running two days in a row since mid-August. I was just going to do a mile, but when I got there I did 1.5, and then I decided I would do 2, but once you've gone even a step past 2 it's less than a mile to get 3. And on the pee problem - in case anyone's wondering, for now I've decided that my two options are to run with a bladder problem or not run at all. So there it is. 

Eric and I have been talking about how we can get a little more time to work on the things we need to do, and today we thought of having someone come in our home while we're home for a few hours a week to entertain/take care of Elliott. So we can be there but not have to stop working when she starts to fuss. Any ideas about how to find someone for that kind of thing? 

Today I really did just do a mile. I still have a bunch of grading I have to get done tonight, and I'm not prepared for my class tomorrow afternoon, so I opted to just put in an appearance on the treadmill. 

Tonight we also figured out that we have over 550 ounces of breastmilk in the freezer. I'd try to donate some if it weren't so caffeinated (doesn't bother Elliott).
