I Kept Running

We are now at 10 months old, and I figured since I am starting part-time this week, (and the fact that it has been TEN months) I would dust off the old running shoes and hit the pavement.  It is funny, during my maternity leave I was jogging some and was attending yoga more regularly.  But since I went back to work, that has slacked off, since I prefer to spend my spare hours with my little guy.  I mean, look at him.  Who could resist.

But it is time to focus a little on me, maybe just 20 minutes a day, and I think I can make daddy spend some spare time with the little guy and I can get back in shape, maybe even hit the gym that I have not frequented since I was 8 1/2 months pregnant.

I often wonder how hard can it be.  I completed a half marathon 3 months before I was pregnant.  I ran until I was 33 weeks pregnant.  I think I can manage it 10 months post pregnancy.  So, with my jogging stroller in one hand and pumping against the wind with the other, I hope to get what every new mom deserves, a few minutes to breathe in the fresh air and gather my thoughts, and to feel good about myself all the while.

Even the thought of running wears this guy out!
