New beginning



I now have two post-baby runs under my belt. Wow, is it different. Spencer's schedule has still been changing every month, so I haven't even tried to come up with a regular schedule for running. Mostly it's when it works out easily. That's not going to cut it, though. I am working on finding the motivation to get serious again. I saw one friend who did 30 miles combined of exercise the week she turned 30 last year. I really like that idea - maybe spread over the whole month. 21 July is not that far away. But with the 27 miles of trails that go throughout the city of Plainfield, IN (just outside Indianapolis where we are moving at the end of June - more on that later), it may be a great excuse to get out and explore the city. 

I am improving, though. My first run at the end of April was one mile and just over 10 minutes. Today I did a mile in 9:45. Far from where I was a year ago but it's something and I'll take it!  

Here's to many more miles!

I'm jealous. I'm getting to the point I can't hide my growing belly anymore and I know my runs are just going to be getting slower and slower.

Running after a baby is so so hard. You go, girl!
