I decided that I would use a different route so that hopefully sidewalks would be more clear. I didn't have to run in any ankle deep snow, but it was still slow because the sidewalks were spotty at best. I tried to speed up in places where the sidewalks were clear, but it was hard to get anything good going, since clear patches lasted maybe 3 houses. So pace was slow, but that was to be expected. My #2 stress since I stopped blogging was that we have been unable to conceive (still). In the beginning of November I had to learn to accept the fact that it wasn't going to happen. So we did a lot of clearing out of baby stuff. We gave our furniture (crib and dressers) to my brother, who is expecting a girl in March. We are not 100% sure that we will or won't try again...but for now I'm back on the pill because that's my only chance of success, according to my doctor. In theory when I go off of the pill my body will do what it's supposed to for a couple months, until it sputters to a stop again. I wish I had looked into a crystal ball a long time ago. I would have done a number of things differently. But I know what they say about hindsight :)
Oh, and so not to leave this on a pity note: now that I have an open room, I am getting a treadmill :)
