my other hobby...

so online, you will find me as TXrunner b/c i run and i live in TX - not very creative i know. and that running thing is something i have neglected for the last 10 weeks. yeah i know part of it is having noah and letting my body heal but my body needs running to feel complete. i know that sounds totally crazy but runners know what i am talking about!

i ran tonight - only had about 15 mins after dinner and before i needed to take care of noah so i went outside and did sprints. my house sits on a fairly hilly part of the neighborhood which is perfect for sprinting up and down. i haven't sprinted since i found out i was pregnant with noah and let me just say that the sprints i did HURT. but HURT in a good way. i only did a set of 6 of them in the 100 degree heat but i felt good. i felt alive and i felt fast. after having noah i could TOTALLY see how having a baby sometimes makes people put fitness on the back burner - there aren't enough hours in the day! but at the same time, getting back into it makes me a better person to care for noah. it gives me a chance to air my stresses and frustrations in a positive way.

so i am eyeing a local 5k again, i hope soon. wish me luck!
