He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

Tried to run this morning. Only made it 2 before I decided it wasn't worth it with all my little distractions home from school. :)

4 more after the littlest princess was put to bed. She is so kissable and so cute!!!

Ran with Jackie. She is another friend who just had a baby. She is 5 weeks postpartum. She did AWESOME tonight. We ran 5 together and then I did my last mile alone.

AP with Jackie 9:33

last mile 8:07

Timing Nursing my baby around exercise has been a bit of a challenge but my husband has been so supportive and flexible and so have my running friends. They always let me tell them when I can go and they work their schedules around when my baby needs to eat. It has been awesome. I am looking forward to being able to run in the morning again. I think it will be a couple of months yet, until little E is on a more regular schedule.

So proud of myself for running this alone. I took it nice and easy and just ran by feel. I was pleasantly suprised by my AP.

I really didn't want to go but did anyway :)

AP 9:18

My legs were so tired. Probably still recovering from my longer run on Saturday.

My baby has been sleeping so well. 9PM-7AM. I should get back to early morning running but I don't want to wake her to feed her. There is no way I can go until she has nursed...so not really sure what to do. I guess I will just keep doing what I am doing.

I would love to hear what any other breast feeding mom's are doing.

5 with Amber. Amber lives at the top of a two mile hill. Not gradual, very steep. I told her we are not starting at her house any more.:) It was brutal!!

Woke up even earlier to pump. Not sure if it was worth it. I guess one day a week is okay.
