Just a reminder, I'm coming off of a pregnancy. I had baby number 2 in december ( Hannah). And for some reason I'm more motivted to get back into running after this daughter then I was after my first daughter, Eveyln. I think it's because more weight has piled on me and I want to go back to being healthy and energetic. After Evelyn I ran and did some races but never put in the effort to run a solid race. I realized if I don't do it now it'll never happen. So I'm going to track my progress with this blog and hopefully see some results in the future.

Monday I ran 3.3 miles in my neighborhood.

My first mile had some uphill, which is killing me right now. The first mile was 10:13

Mile 2- 9:08

Mile 3 - 8:27

 

I also have 36 pounds to lose along the way. Hopefully that'll come off as I exercise and stay away from fattening foods and treats.

Weight: 0.00

Welcome to the blog, and I'm excited to see how you progress! And with such a tiny little baby! Pregnancies and having children adds times and seasons to running, it seems, so I'm happy for you that your running season is coming back around. I bet you'll look back at these beginning entries in six months and marvel at how far you've come. :-)
