At that point Brent had retired from running and was back to picture taking! I held my ground that year, kept my first place division rank and was even the third female overall.

I tore it up that year - 3 full marathons and tons of age division awards at the shorter stuff! Far and away that was my fastest year of running! I had just finished my first full marathon earlier that year, and this was the first time I'd ever placed first in my division. Brent must've run it that year because there's only after race pics. I had just finished my my first half marathon - CMM - a couple of months earlier and thought I was big stuff! I placed in my division for the first time - I think I was either 2nd or 3rd. I don't have any pics of us racing from 2004, we probably didn't even have a digital camera back then! Here I am - super skinny after my first year of running - in 2005. Little did I know on that June day that it would be the first of many races, and in a few years we would only live a half a mile away from Shelby Park. We decided to put our two weeks of experience to the test and found this 5K at someplace called "Shelby Park". A friend who lived a couple of blocks over had just started running and we had started running in the evenings with her. This race was the "race that started them all" for us. Technically her first 5K was this same race, just last year, when I was somewheres around 10 or 11 weeks pregnant. I guess technically this was not her first 5K. Hopefully by refocusing myself to exercise I can refocus some energy on this site! If you live in Nashville come out and run it - it benefits the Y and all of its programs, so it's for a great cause! And you can run with Lilli and I! The Tomato Festival will be going on in our neighborhood that same day, so it's an awesome day to hang out on the East Side and eat, drink, run and be merry.Īnyway, that's the updates from here. And while I admit I am nowhere near my best shape I thought I was decent - until I can barely walk yesterday and today! My upper body is so weak and I am really feeling it there and also in my legs, which seems so crazy! I wish I felt it more in the abs, so I may rotate out 2 nights a week to my strict ab workout and the other 5 to Jillian, we'll see.Īnd my next race is fast approching - The East Nashville Tomato Festival 5K on Aug 8th. I started Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred on Monday, so every night as soon as Lilli goes to sleep I do the 20-min workout. Back to strict eating, not so many treats or conveince fatty foods (not that we're as bad as pretty much all of America on that, but we haven't been as strict on that stuff lately), and back to focusing on toning and strength. I finally had enough of this awful body image so after some tears on Sunday I'm getting refocused. My running is getting faster and faster - yesterday I hit my 4-miler at an avg pace of 8:31, including warm-up cool down, so I'm getting closer to my pre-baby pace (that # should be closer to an 8.) I work out most every day during lunch, as always. But we do play and have loads and loads of fun, and I think those are the things that will matter most to me down the line. Except the napping part, that's just a new mom pipe dream. I want to nap and play and make fun memories, so that's what we do. I genuinely don't want to run insane distances right now. And I am not technically 3 lbs less than pre-preg, but they still stare at me. I'm still about a pants size up from what I was, so there are all kinds of cute Express slacks just staring at me from a box in the corner of our bedroom, while I wear my fat pants day in and day out. I got back down to my pre-preg weight 19.5 weeks after she was born (which means I lost the 37 moo-cow pounds my body put on in 19.5 weeks.

I did great during the 3.5 months I had off, and then once I got back to the "real world" the total abscence of much free time had made it hard. ever.) it just happens.īut when you have such a cutie-patootie playmate, can you blame me?Īnd can you believe she's already going to be six months old THIS WEEK?īut I do keep up her private blog quite well, and Facebook, so if you're not linked into me in either of those places shoot me your digits in the comments and we'll be friends and get you invited into the baby party.Įxercise stuffs - I am having a way hard time finding my mojo post-baby.
