Run like the breeze would be more like it! Do you have something in your life that 90% of the time it makes you feel blissful and the other 10% is pure agony and pain? Running is that for me. Trust me, I have no idea why, but for some reason I love it. I love getting into a rythmn matching my steps to my breathing and listening to my ipod. Then again there are those days that I set off on a run and nothing in my body works right and I feel like a hot mess. I haven't run in over a year. As soon as we got pregnant with Svea I stopped and started walking under the doctors orders to take it easy. I've missed it and have forgotten how hard it is to get back into. I still have what I call "elephant legs" (no it's not a major put-down), but where you're not used to picking your legs up high so when your out there hitting the pavement your legs literally feel like elephant legs. I've now gone three times and I'm so excited to say that I only had to stop briefly twice during my short run while Svea napped last night. My lungs also don't feel like there going to burn up at any moment. Anyway, it feels good to be back out there. I had this secret fear that my body would never work again enough to do it. I'm so pumped up about it I asked my friend Krista if she'd like to team with me in a triathalon sometime this summer to get me warmed up for my goal. My goal is do one by myself again...it's been two long years and I miss it! Maybe by writing it here it'll motivate me to actually do it:)
