I asked one of them one time "why don't you run?" she smiled, laughed and said "when you have kids, you'll understand, it's just not appropriate anymore." I stared at her, not understanding and then got distracted like little kids do and ran off. A couple evenings ago there was a rare break in the smoke and I was able to go for a quick run before dark. When I got home my shorts were soaked but my mind was happy. Theo looked at me and said "what happened to your shorts?" I looked down, looked back at him, smiled and said very matter of factly "mom's pelvic floor never fully recovered after having you, so I pee when I run." He looked at me like I just told him the most mundane thing and said "oh cool, we're having ice cream!" I feel like pee is the last thing I should be ashamed of since climbing through urine soaked cracks on El Cap is seen as a badge of honor and something that makes us climbers better than the normal person. Climbers are very good at pushing against societal norms in many regards, perhaps that's what led me to stop seeing things like this as problems and instead just as natural human things. There is so much we can do to normalize conversations with ourselves and each other, releasing the shame of what mainstream society tells us. How sad would it be if we perpetuated the "not appropriate anymore" for the next generation with our bodies? Afterall, we all deserve an evening run or to wear a bikini without question // @outdoorresearch @metoliusclimbing @touchstoneclimbing @goclimbon @bluewaterropes @ospreypacks @clifbar @lasportivana #orambassador ***edited update*** One of the best things I did was to see a pelvic floor PT. She was invaluable and helped my cystocele (bladder prolapse) immensely. I highly recommend it for every postpartum mama. I still pee sometimes when I run, but I CAN RUN which is amazing.」8月27日 2時06分
