How long did you wait to go running after you had kids?  I don't want to ask my doctor because I'm pretty sure she'll say 6 weeks but I don't think I need THAT much time. =0)

  • 2 miles of running! It went like this:
  • 1 mile run @ 5.5mph, .5 mile walk, 1 mile run @ 6.0mph....cue hungry baby screaming on monitor...at which point I had to get of the TM, but maybe that was a good thing so I don't overdue it :)

Happy National Running Day!  To celebrate, I decided to bite the bullet and run on the treadmill, thanks to my good friend who said she only waited 13 days post-baby, that's all I needed to hear!  I'm 19 days post-baby.  I haven't run since Feb 22nd and the month of running leading up to that wasn't all that pleasant...felt like running through tar, my feet hurt, my pregnant ligaments felt like they were going to tear off...yada yada yada.  I was nervous for my post-baby, inaugural run today because I figured I would feel awful and blubbery.  But it was GREAT!  It felt SO GOOD!  My conclusion is this:  it's much easier to run without a baby in your belly.  Go figure. :) 

I LOVE RUNNING!!

  • 4 mile walk on Bountiful Blvd 

How could I resist the pure blue sky and cooler temps??  What a gorgeous day.  I think Baby Girl likes getting out on the Blvd as much as me and that's saying a lot for a 3 week old.

  • 30 minute warmup with the GMF DVD
  • 2 mile run on the treadmill @ 5.5-6.0mph
  • 0.5 mile cool down walk

I'm excited for the first two races I have lined up!  Allie's Wedding 5K on the 23rd and the Centerville 5K on July 4th.  I hate 5K's, but I'm really excited for these since they are my first races! :)  Now that I know my insides aren't going to fall out when I run, I'm going to start working on a training program this weekend that will lead up to some half marathon(s) for this fall.  I'll post it when I get it worked out.  I feel so refreshed from my LONG break and I'm ready to get going!
