Baby Myles is here, and now it's time to get back to working out hard again.  I've missed running!  I need to take it easy coming back, so I will run only 15-20 minutes a day through this first week.  I may only run every other day, depending on how I feel.  I can tell my core strength is seriously lacking.  Plus, I'm still packing an extra 15 pounds.  So, I don't want to get injured.

I did 40 minutes on the elliptical on the interval setting.  The intervals were two minutes on, two minutes off.  Then, I ran 2 miles on the  treadmill.  It took me 16:20, so 8:10 per mile.  When I got home I did 3 x 25 crunches.

It's going to take a while to get consistent with workouts with a new baby in the house.  Some nights are way rougher than others right now.

I went to a lifting/coreworks class.  It was so hard.  I am a huge weakling right now.  Especially in the core.  I'm going to be really sore tomorrow.

After the class I ran 20 minutes on the treadmill.  Well, actually, I ran 20:10 because I had to run an even 2.5 miles.

I ran 3 miles on the treadmill in 24:18.  I am really sore from yesterday, just like I thought I would be.  After running I took a Zumba class.  It was much easier without the big stomach getting in the way of my sexy moves!
