After JT deployed the first time, I began running. I needed something to get me in shape after having Olivia and something to do for me. I have admired runners since high school and wished that I had the stamina to run long distances. With the help of some great friends, I started running. It wasn't long til I understood the runner's high. It was wonderful! Most runs consisted of me and pushing Ella and Olivia in a jogging stroller. It wasn't very fun, but it made the runs without them so easy. I eventually built up to running 3 miles atleast 4 times a week. I had fallen in love with it.
With this pregnancy, being so sick and tired, I didn't do a thing to stay in shape. Almost everyday I told JT I couldn't wait to start running again. It has been 2 months since I had Sutton and I am going to start running...hopefully...again. The thing is, I haven't run in so long that I have "lost that lovin' feeling" (sorry for that). It takes some time to get back into it. I am remembering the days I would run and I thought to myself, "This is torture". I am at that point again. I know if I made a point of running for about 2 weeks straight, I would get back into it. But then I need to find a good time to do it. Morning? I am not a morning person. Night? I like to veg out after the kids are in bed. Naptime? I want to take a nap too.
Ok, you got me. I am just making excuses. I will start, again, tomorrow...maybe...we will see. :)

I hear ya, every day I think todays the day I am going to go... have yet to go. I know I will feel better after a few runs but just cant quite get the motivation.
With both girls, it took me til they were almost a year old to get the motivation. I don't want that to be the case this time.
