Running has been difficult these past few months as sleep seems to take precedence over anything else. Yet my body begged me to get back to it, so I signed up for my first post-baby half-marathon. And, I did it! Way slower than pre-pregnancy, and with far more soreness to deal with afterward (not enough preparation - booo!), but I finished!
Now that the weather is cooler, I hope to really get back into running as it won't be too hot in the afternoon on the weekends (giving me mornings to sleep in if I am exhausted), and Dovie is now big enough to come along in a jogging stroller! So, if you see me coming down the street, you might want to get out of my way ;)

As a running addict, any times for a not-at-all-but-slowly-trying-to-become runner?
congrats! you're doing amazing! :)
Wow! You're amazing. I can't begin to imagine. Granted, I'm not much of a runner, but still. I have nothing but the highest respect for anyone who runs like that, let alone with a baby!! I hope everything is alright with you, your hubby, and Dovie.
congratulations!!! heck i haven't been running at all in months (well until yesterday!) and i didn't have a child!
I've been getting back to the gym @ 3 days a week. I can tell on the days I work out that I am about to drop at 6:00, which of course is nowhere near the end of the day. It feels like I've literally used up every last ounce of energy I have.
I'm totally impressed you have your shit together enough to run a 1/2 marathon. Kudos.
Congratulations! It must feel good to be able to do that. Hopefully I will see you the week after next!
EB - I magically made 10-minute miles, which is faster than I normally do these days, but waaay slower than I used to run. Some day, I hope to speed back up!
SM - thanks! I feel so behind in other things, had to brag about this one ;)
Makita - thanks, I like running partly because of instant gratification - 'look what I was just able to do!' And, our little family is managing while being in constant awe of its tiniest member!
Quiet - thanks! It's hard to get back into, but well worth it!
MXX - working out does take a lot of energy on the days I do it, but I feel like it gives me more energy overall - hopefully the same is true for you!
Rebecca - yes, it feels good to know that I can still run! And, we should make some plans to catch up and for you to meet Dovie! How much of your family will be around?
