In between feedings, diaper changes, the demands of being momma, loads of laundry, etc...you get what I mean...I finally squeezed in a run! A 3 mile run with 2 brief walking breaks! Not bad for not running since February!
One thing that has changed....I don't think "scheduling" a run is in my near future. Fitting in a run, even at the last minute, is my reality. I know this will be short lived. As Nick gets older, it will be easier to schedule a run. No matter, it is great to be running...treadmill or outside....I will take whatever.
So....how do I feel after this run? 24 hours later.....my legs are sore and feet ache. Time to break out those new shoes that I bought before my injury and pregnancy news! Hopefully that will help. Dropping a few more pounds will help too! Despite my physical aches, I am mentally ready to hit the road again! Maybe yet tonight! One never knows!
Until our next run....

Redemption!
Six weeks ago, we were blessed with a beautiful baby boy named Nicholas! He is a sweet and cuddly little man. We are in love and thank God everyday for him! M loves her little brother. Though she has days when she wants little to do with him, at least that's what she says until he cries, then she is the first to run to his aid! :)
Though my days focus around feedings, diaper changes and school, it is time for momma to get back into shape...time to pick up where I left off....with that said.....it is offical! I am running Bayshore...this time the half marathon. My husband wants me to be conservative (because of my knee issues) and run the 10K. I want to run the full marathon. A compromise....the half. I am sooooo excited! And yet fully realize getting out the door for a training run will add its challenges to an already busy and hectic day! Nonetheless, I am up for the challenge and hope that my family is too!
So as I put on my running shoes on, turn on my iPod and set my Garmin....I hope to see you on one of my training runs! Good luck to all of you who have already made the commitment to run your inspirational, life changing race!
Until our next run!.....
