On the run again...

Where did the last month go?! The repetition of motherly life has taken me away from the computer and challenged my attempt to blog weekly. Alas, Ellie is napping and so here I am to do a quick post. I can not believe the end of March is approaching and she is nearly 5 months old! It is a blessing to watch this little one (okay, she is not so little now that she is over 16 pounds!) grow!

I still haven't been able to run much but just last week decided to try and run with the jogger again now that Ellie is a bit stronger and Otis understands the concept of heeling beside the stroller. We actually made out pretty good except for a slight distraction when Otis spotted a coyote (he yearns to chase them!). Ellie was solid in the car seat and smiled away as we trotted along. My forearms were sore from pushing the stroller but otherwise felt pretty good. Hmmm....a fall marathon may actually be somewhat realistic if I can make this running thing a little more consistent.

Still going to mom and me classes more for the social aspect than the workout itself. The muffin top remains persistent and so I know I need some intensity to whip this bod into shape again. I am just finding it tough to motivate myself to do burpees and mountain climbers in my basement after Ellie goes to bad. I need someone else to kick my butt! Any takers?
