Well, I think it's time to get some blogs up here, so I'll go ahead and start. Unfortunately, I can't write about running since I haven't been doing any since my son was born on December 31st. I had grand plans of running home from the hospital and falling right back into my routine, but here we are nearly 6 weeks later and I'm not running at all. I'd really like to start exercising again but with 4 kids, 3 under 4, it's hard to find the time, not to mention the energy. And did I mention the cold?? So I think the next year will really test my commitment to running. But my motivation is there since my jeans are a long way from fitting and I've realized how much I need that time by myself or with friends just running and doing something that is totally selfish. Something I do just for me. Plus I miss racing. I like the challenge and the satisfaction (and frustration) of it. So I know I'll get there, it's just going to be a longer road than I had hoped.
So right now, while I figure out how I can squeeze in workouts between feeding the baby and driving my 8 year old to soccer practice, I've decided to focus on food. I figure that good running really starts with a good diet and mine has been somewhat less than nutritious lately. And when I attempted to run (the 2 times I did since I had the baby) I realized how much harder it to run carrying around those extra pounds. Oh, and I'd like to find the person who said that breastfeeding made the pregancy pounds melt away. My pounds have taken up permanent residence on my butt and show no signs of going anywhere. So anyway, my goal for the next month is to find some good books on sports nutrition and work those meals into my weekly menu. I'll let you know how that goes.
