I ran

I did it. Today I started learning how to run. I feel great! It was just right -- not too hard, not too easy. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. The program calls for 3x/week runs, but I may get out and walk the other days. It felt so good to be out in the early morning mist with just my own thoughts (read: no kids).

All this is in celebration of my impending 40th birthday, but today is a special day all on its own. SammyT turned three today, and Athena is six months old. Happy Birthday all around!

When you are feeling up to it, there is a group of about four women who get together Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Larry Scott Trail and we run about 3.5 miles. We meet at 8 am and we are usually towing our little ones in their jogging strollers.
PS Emerson wanted me to give Athena a big HAPPY 1/2 BIRTHDAY.

Congratulations!

I am starting to run again, finally. I got a treadmill as a "pregnancy present" from Andrew and used it to run until about my 6th month of pregnancy, and then walked on it ... well, until 20 minutes into labor!

But Audrey was terrified of the thing, so I've only used it rarely in the last 6 months or so. Just within the last few weeks, she's willing to stay on the other side of the barrier and watch me without panicking.
