On the road again

I am going to start running again tonight.  There.  I posted it online which apparently stays out there forever so I'd BETTER be truthful.

The last time I ran was the official 5k run for the children's hospital (the whole reason I started running in the first place).  I couldn't figure out why I was feeling so dizzy while running that week.  It was only a few days after the race that I found out we were pregnant!  1st trimester kind of kicked my butt and running got demoted in priority in my life...ended up on the list next to wearing skinny jeans or staying awake past 9pm - not gonna happen.

I was actually really surprised how much I missed running while pregnant.  Some days I felt like I was literally craving it.  I'm now 6 weeks and 2 days postpartum and I keep hearing that 6 weeks is a good timeframe to wait before indulging in physical activity.  I'll start slow and tell myself I'm doing it for the good of my body so I don't feel discouraged when I end up sucking wind and walking after the first 25 seconds.  Not sure where this running thing will take me this time as I don't have a distance goal or a race deadline.  Well I guess there's always the little baby weight issue that I could use as motivation... :)

So anyway.  Tonight's the night!
