| It's time to start back up on the blog. Training in New Orleans with a new baby has been rougher than I expected. I wanted to get one last good race in last fall, but I struggled leading up to Rylie's birth. I started training more seriously again about 6 weeks ago, although it's been slow going. I put on almost 20 pounds since I moved here, and I've only lost 3 or 4 so far.
Aside from the heat and humidity, my biggest obstacle has been getting my runs in before dark. I got used to running whenever I had time in Bellingham, but it's too risky to be out after dark here. For now I'm doing shorter runs after work and longer runs on the weekends. And I take Rylie in the stroller most of the time.
Today was that kind of day. 85 degrees and 75% humidity, but Rylie loves to ride in the stroller. The wind was a lot stronger than normal, and that made the return trip tough. 6 miles to Algiers Point and back.

| 10 on the levy with Rylie. Had to wait for a group of thunderstorms to pass, then it was a cool run from there (for once).

| 10 miles with Rylie. I want to say easy pace, but it was the first truly hot day of the year (89 degrees and 80% humidity) and I struggled and Rylie complained. The scale says I lost 6 pounds of water. I remember again why I fell of the wagon last October. I like to pretend it was so I could be around more before Rylie's birth, but in reality I had been beat down by the head & humidity so badly that each run was difficult to face and I finally petered out.
The idea of training all summer through this makes me want to get fat and sit around reminiscing about the times I was in shape. I think the only thing to do is start getting up at 4:00 so I can run before work. I won't survive evening training.
