itching...
I'm itching to run again. I'm relieved...and scared all at the same time. I stopped running when I got to about 26 weeks (i'd have to go back and check), but stayed active up until we moved away from VA and my precious YMCA. I still did elliptical and weights and all that good stuff. I had ambitions of keeping up with walking once we moved, but frankly I was so exhausted from the previous several months, that I just didn't. I had enough activity in regular old life that I just couldn't and didn't want any more. But now I am anxious. I still have 3 weeks to go before my check up, but I am getting really anxious to run again. I'm REALLY going to miss having the Y right around the corner, because it will mean lots of EARLY morning runs. But i'm getting excited. It's probably mostly because I'm so "squishy" these days. But I'm thinking towards a February race....trying to convince David and Kelli to do it with me....so we'll see!

you're gonna do great! i know you'll enjoy getting out there again. enjoy these 3 weeks...it's your LAST chance to have a good excuse for not running! :)
Good for you! It's impressive that you want to get back out there even with everything else going on in life :)
Yeah -- I'm not enjoying this 'squishy' feeling either -- makes me want to get out an do something, but I certainly can't even start thinking about all that yet. Hopefully the motivation will still be there a few weeks from now when I'm able.
easy, girl! i KNOW how you feel! you probably have a plan for when you start back...but here's what i did in case you want some ideas:
since sawyer wasn't sleeping through the night...and his wakeup time in the morning was questionable, i didn't want to be running when he woke up! so i went in the evenings for the first couple months. i started with 2 miles. was able to run that pretty quickly. kept that up til i got the pace i wanted. then added more distance. by the time i was ready to do 4 miles, sawyer's sleep schedule was regular enough for me to run in the morning again!
