Back In The Habit

I did it. I got up and exercised today. I got my heart pumping a little and my arms and legs moving. It felt great. And I feel great still. It didn't give me a headache or make me extremely tired. I guess the last time I tried some of the things I did today I was just on the verge of sickness and tired anyway. Now I'm better and it feels great.

I'm 30 weeks from the end of my exercise restrictions. Well, more than that with recovery from my c-section, BUT still. I am excited. It's going to be a different season when I'm through with this pregnancy than last time. Going into Fall and Winter will be hard. I need to get some new ideas for exercises I can do with 2 kids around. But that's later.

Right now, I'm walking. I've entered the 120 mile challenge again this year.



I did this because I need a little bit more motivation to get out of the house. AND exercise. It's just too easy to stay home. I used the enormous amounts of rain that we have been having as an excuse, but just realized that even if it's sunny I just have no motivation. Cat's 120 Mile Challenge gives me someone to report to every week. I am pretty competitive and I don't like to come in last. So, this will be good I think.

Last week, I did just a little over 2 miles. (slow start, I know.) And this week I have already gotten that. I am going to at least double my miles from last week. That's the goal.

Wish me luck.

Book Review: Mile Markers

Mile Markers: The 26.2 Most Important Reasons Why Women Run by Kristin Armstrong

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I absolutely LOVED this book. If you are a runner at the beginning of your journey or even well seasoned, then you will love it too. Kristin kept me pondering so many different parts of me throughout the whole book. It made me miss running, but love that even though I'm on a required break I will get to do it again. It felt like light at the end of a tunnel. Many different tunnels. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
