Holy Moly it is freakishly hot at noon! Now, I know that noon in the middle of July in Utah probably isn't the best time to get out for my first post-partum run, but I really only set out with intentions of walking with maybe a bit of running interspersed. The run just took over and then I had to keep going. I was slow...oh boy was I slow, but pushing a jogging stroller in the heat up hill and into the wind isn't as easy as I remember - oh, and neither is running 3 weeks after delivery :) AP: 10:12 splits: 10:45, 9:26, 10:52, 9:43 (can you tell the uphill miles? :) ) I did an out and back and just turned around at 2 miles, it was hot and miserable. Honestly, the body felt fine: cardio, muscles, insides etc - it was just HOT and I was melting and done. I had a few stops to reposition the blanket over baby in the jogging stroller, but I stopped the garmin those times so I can't blame my slowness on that. If I get out tomorrow it will be early when it is not so hot! However, I'll probably just walk for the next day or two. Baby update: one thing I LOVE about my sweet Adam is whenever he cries 95% of the time all I have to do is pick him up and kiss his sweet face and he stops crying. I love that kid! :)
