6/1 = 5 miles
6/2 = 6 miles @ 6 weeks postpartum!
6/3 = weight training in the morning, 4 miles stroller walk
6/4 = Rest day, holiday dinner with the family and a very cranky baby. Add a dog terrified by the fireworks, shaking, panting and salivating on my bed, and you get the whole picture of my 4th of July night. Breath in…Breath out…
6/5 = 4 miles, hot and humid, but I needed it for my sanity.
P.S. I do real everyone's posts, but I cannot make personal comments since my life is pretty much controlled by a tiny human being with lots of demands
You are doing so great though! 0 -

I'm officially signed up for the half marathon- training starts the 20th of July so I have some time- but I'm going to try to ramp up my running in the next 3 week. I have no specific goals but to run more.0

Got out early and beat the heat to put in a short but faster 7+km run to cap off a 86km running week with 2,209 meters of climbing. It's been many years since I last ran any distance at all and while I've no set objective in mind I'm still building and having fun.

1- rest
2-lunch swim, 12.15 bike
3-0.52 GI upset. Decided to lay on couch and eat popsicles instead.
4-5.18 hot. HI 99, temp 89 humidity 60%
5- 4.80 run, cold spring dip, run
10.5/70+
The run back is always better than the run to the cold spring. Overall it's downhill, and running back cooled off is so enjoyable. I found myself at a comfortable place mulling over a recent silly conversation with my husband about his nips an why he insists on wearing a shirt... And my mind wandered on to the silliness of a naked run. All that back sweat running off you rear made me laugh. Youd need a head band around your waist. My run was great. Comfortable, and entertaining. That's progress.0 -
July 1 - rest
July 2 - 3.75 run/walk combo
July 3 - 5 miles
July 4 - 5.76 miles
July 5 - Not counting it towards goal but walked 5 miles in Astoria in the morning to scout out a place to do long run on Tuesday. Then walked another 6 all around Central Park and Manhattan. Weather is SO nice up here. Don't want to go back to the FL heat!

A little update: my little runner Anna Elizabeth arrived on May 22, 2015 @ 6:13am EST, 5lb 9 oz and 19.5 inches of pure joy! We call our baby girl Anya She sure kept me busy for the last 6 weeks, which flew by faster than I expected. We already celebrated being 1 month old 
Below is one of the hundreds shots that I've taken. Yeah, I became that mom hahahahaha.
I'll shoot for 80 miles of running/walking. I can probably do more, but would like to start easy.
So glad to be back!!! Happy Running everyone
P.S. Any expecting moms, feel free to message me. I ran and lifted through my entire pregnancy and I think it made a huge difference in my delivery and recovery.
Awwww! Beautiful baby. Congratulations!

7/1 - 3.3 miles - usually my rest day, but keeping my streak alive (3 more days!)
7/2 - 4.6 miles while eating lots of breakfast gnats yuck!
7/3 - 2.3 miles - short run today - took a new running partner who hasn't run in a while. She did great! It was cooler and raining.
7/4 - 6.2 miles - last day of my Memorial Day to 4th of July 41 Days of Awesome running challenge.
7/5 - rest day and travel to El Paso ugh what a trip
7/6 - 2.5 horrible dreadmill miles
18.9 miles out of 100
@whatmerunning I totally agree on the streak - even if I did a 1.6 or 2 mile run the day before my long I didn't feel rested.
For those not on my news feed - when I got to the airport for my business trip the TSA agent told me my driver's license expired. They let me on the plane (have up to 1 year before they won't) but of course I couldn't get my rental car. Alabama doesn't send you any renewal notice you need to track the expiration date - okay so this is the second time this happened to me while I've lived here ha ha!! Anyway I'm stuck at the hotel and can't go anywhere to run. I said okay I can run in the streets here, lots of traffic and not the best roads but no biggie. I got up at 5:00 and got dressed walked out the door and it was dark ha ha! OMG I'm a mess. My hotel used to be one with outdoor doors so they just enclosed it to make the doors indoors, the light I saw in the curtain is the hallway light. duh again! So okay I go to the gym, where it is 80 degrees in the room, no joke. Okay equipment all looks new so I get on the mill and it's literally 6" from the wall and there is nothing but a big mirror in front of me. Nothing to inspire you to run more than seeing your gross sweaty self. Didn't take long to sweat, did I mention it was 80 degrees..honestly I checked the thermostat! Anyway did a horrible 2.5 miles of a "hilly run" and then walked around the parking lot a bit. The sun was coming up the mountains are beautiful. I'll take a picture later. One of my friends is going to rent me a car today in her name so I can get around. The guy that drives the shuttle told me of a place to run not too far from the hotel.
Bless you treadmill folks I don't know how you do it. Sorry this is so long - figured you could use a laugh today.

oh girl- you're a trouper- I would have probably given up LOL- glad you got at least a small run in- 2-3 is about all I can take on a treadmill even in "optimal" conditions. LOLskippygirlsmom wrote: »7/1 - 3.3 miles - usually my rest day, but keeping my streak alive (3 more days!)
