I am back! And I am determined to get back into shape. So I want to keep my motivation high and hold myself accountable. And so far things are going great (today was Day 1!). I am going to try to ease myself into workouts so as not to get discouraged. And with 3 kids now, many of my workouts will be treadmill/at home workouts.

Today I got out and ran 1 mile (slightly downhill) in 8:15, walked 0.25, ran 1 mile (slightly uphill) in 8:45, walked 0.25. Total time: 25 min. A half mile into the workout everything hurt. Lungs, legs, etc.

Did a few situps, stretching, and lunges with my girls.

And I am putting my weight up to hopefully motivate myself to work on getting the baby weight off. And going to try to limit the times I step on the scale initially (to start hopefully just once a week). So goal #1 is getting down to 137, my pre-baby #3 weight. Goal #2 will be 128 (pre-baby #2 weight), and goal #3 is a long road...but hopefully back to 123, my pre-baby #1 weight!

Good to see you out running again and blogging. It'll be fun to watch your progress as you get back into shape. Have fun with it!

I bet it feels good to be out running again! We'll have to come run a nice California race with you sometime. Wish we could run together!
