"Long Run"

I put it in quotes because it didn't feel long.  It was my longest since October and it was only 9k (and you know you are nuts when you put only in front of 9k).  It was nice that it felt smooth and I only had to grab the handle bars a couple times because what I was watching made me jump.  So glad I don't have an audience when I'm on the treadmill.  It isn't pretty!

In other news: 3 way mirrors are evil.

Magic

Once in awhile a run is so good you don't want to stop!  I had that yesterday.  It felt easy and smooth and was exactly what I needed after a couple of weeks of tough runs.  I worked for it and was rewarded.


And it was a nice milestone run!  


80 runs in 80 days!!!!

Tulips

Tulips arrived here on Valentine's Day!  I love tulips!

Babies

Yup, babies have been on my brain.  Maybe because one of my best friends just had one, maybe because of the glow another friend has while she waits for hers to arrive.  The brain knows it's a foolish urge, the heart wants another thing.  The reality is that it's not going to happen.  So while my heart reconciles with my brain I find myself sighing every time I see an expectant Mom or a new baby.  Go figure.  


We are definitely done having kids.  My body would not tolerate another pregnancy.  As much as it was great being pregnant it has left it's mark on my body and there is no going back.  I'm not talking stretch marks and wider hips!  Those I would have no problem with.  I'm talking pelvic floor issues that I nearly need to see a professional about and may in the future.  Sneeze and pee is the new normal right now and it's getting better but after two years I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever sneeze without clenching again?  Oh and in case you are wondering the c-train is the perfect place to do kegels and no one even knows I'm doing it!  Ha!

70 in 70

70 runs in 70 days completed!  It feels good.  The legs were pretty tired today but we got through it.  Actually it's been a few days since a run felt good.  Hoping I'm due for a good one soon!  And it's not an injured feeling, it's just a tired feeling.  So I'm cutting things down a bit for a week and see how it goes.  I'm not in this to get injured.  I'm in it for the fun and fitness!

G and Mommy Photoshoot

After G saw the last picture I posted of him he insisted on a photoshoot with his stuffies.  Here are some of our shots.  The only ones that are mine are the ones with G in them.  The rest he took himself :)  I corrected some colour and made a couple black and white but did no other editing to his pics.


Had to have a shot of Anti to start us off!


 Fierce concentration!
 G's pics!



Happy Camper!

110 days

110 days until the first 10k of the season for me!  I was getting stressed about upping my mileage until I realized how far away it is.  I am doing just fine!  Longest run so far is 8k, I would like to be comfortable with 12-14 before race day.  Lots of time to get there!
As for the weight, it's up two, down two, repeat, repeat, repeat.
