This afternoon, I dusted off the running shoes.  My last run was on November 27th back when I was 20 weeks pregnant and finally decided to hang up my shoes for the next few months.  At that point, my ligaments were too loose and sore and I just couldn’t catch my breath.  Now I’m 4 weeks postpartum and today I finished my first two miles in 25:22.  Yeah, it’s pretty sad but after doing some reading on how to start running again, most will say to wait until 6 weeks and to take it super slow.  I couldn’t wait another two weeks so I went outside, planned to run one mile, and ended up running two.  Overall, it felt great to be outside and moving at a quicker pace than a brisk walk.  It was the lightest I’d felt in many months and breathing was so easy!  Boy have I taken breathing for granted all these years.  Now it’s time to take some ibuprofen and see what the damage will be tonight and tomorrow.
