Running postpartum

Well, it's official. I'm within 2 pounds of my pre-pregnancy weight. Yay! But, it's of little consolation because my core is still weak sauce and there's that stretchy, flabby skin that won't easily go away. That's the real battle.

I'm starting to feel a bit better about my body postpartum. To those men out there, that might sound weird, but for us gals who've had babies...you know what I'm talking about.

Getting back into shape hasn't been all that hard. Well, the exercise hasn't been all that hard. Running, sweating, rock climbing, sweating, long walks, kinda sweating....it's not all that difficult. What's difficult is getting out the door!

But, most days we get out of the door, Elizabeth and I. She's strapped into our Chariot, I'm strapped into my running shoes, and off we go.

We run by the beach to feel the wind in our hair. Rain or shine, running is always good for our relationship. She sleeps, I talk to God. We're better at being mom and daughter when we do that.

As Joe always says...

good times.
