First postpartum run
I started running in 2008 with the goal of running a 5K in the fall. This was a somewhat ridiculous goal, since I hated running and couldn’t run a mile without stopping. That summer I hurt my neck and then developed a wicked blister on my ankle. No 5K.
In 2009 I did the couch-to-5K running plan and decided that I *gasp* liked running! I worked up to being able to run 5K without stopping…and then I got pregnant. No 5K again!
Yesterday I finally found the time to get out and take a short run. It felt great! Plans are in the works to start running with a running buddy. (Woot!) 5K here I come!
P.S. I tried to take a self-portrait to show my red face after the run, but I couldn’t bring myself to post any of the pictures. It’s a good thing there are no mirrors on the running trail, or that would be the end of my running career. There are other things on the trail:
- a statue of a woman with flower pots where her bust would be
- a ceramic pig
- a live woman who makes disturbing noises in her gazebo
But no mirrors.

I hate running. HATE it! I hope you get to do your 5K though – good for you!!!!
You live in a strange area!!! If you want to go running by the trail by my house, I’d be happy to ride my bike alongside. That’s good incentive for ya, right? 😉
