Sweat

For me, the hardest part of exercise is getting my butt off the couch, my binding sports bra on, my big girl lace up shoes on and getting out the damned door.  It’s so much easier to grab another granola bar and sit in front of the TV or computer.  But I’m still 15 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight and I don’t like it.  Granted, some of that is definitely in my chest.  But my belly is super jiggly.  Yes, I know, two months post-partum, give myself a break, yadda, yadda, yadda.  On the other hand, put down the granola bar and go for a run already!  So that’s what I’ve been doing.

I ran on Monday, another 1.5 miles with an 11:42 pace.  I ran again today – two miles with an 11:23 pace.  I’m getting there.  I can feel my running legs slowly returning.  My plan is to run M, W, F while I’m still on leave and get some biking in on the weekends.  At least, that’s the plan, subject to change, etc.

But at least I’m out there doing it.
