I've been running MAyyyybe once or twice a week for the last few months but mostly the only workout I really get these days is lugging my little lady around and going for long walks with her.
So yesterday I decided to bite the bullet and try to take her (and the stroller) for a little jog. I thought, no biggie...I'll just try to jog for about 20 mins or so and then I'll walk a little bit. Start slow...you know. Keep in mind I've run only slightly over a mile since having Fiona...so yah, I'm a little bit outta shape compared to pre-baby but still....
So I waited until about 4pm when it was a bit cooler (like 87...that's right...that's as good as it gets) and off I went. I felt pretty good for a little while and even kind of enjoyed jamming to my music while I got back into the swing of jogging. But then I started to feel the burn. Ow. Turns out jogging while out of shape plus pushing 18 extra lbs (and a stroller) hurts. I looked at my phone and I had only been running for about 5 mins. FIVE MINUTES. Holey balls.
Long story short, it was hard. I only ran for about 15 min and then called it quits while I walked a tiny bit. Props to those really fit moms that run with twins and have a post baby 6 pack. Also...F you. I say that with love.
You may say that I'm making excuses and that it's not that hard to fit in a workout. Well, trust me-when your seven month old is still getting up several times a night naps usually win out over a workout during the day.
So today I think we will skip the jog (and go to the pool...where lounging is expected)...maybe...now I'm a little determined to conquer this. I will keep you posted. Until then-I have more pictures to share!
