I'm sitting here this morning enjoying my coffee, listening to the littlest blow rasberries and coo on the floor, my older ones fighting and hollering at each other over a toy stethoscope and I realize that even though some days I want to run screaming out the front door, I have a pretty cool little family.
I received a text this morning from Scott with some amazing news about some friends of ours, i'll share details when things are confirmed. That text put things into perspective for me, which I needed.
In other notes, I think I slept a total of 4 hours last night. Kegan was up about 6 times last night. I think we have a combination of teeth and growth spurt. Either way it's a pretty miserable time right now. I may or may not have had visions of smothering my snoring husband every time the baby woke up...
I was planning on doing my cross training last night but was having some pretty decent knee pain so I decided to take it easy. I have another 3 mile run tonight and i'm hoping that everything works the way it's supposed to. I'm sure my joints are still a bit loose from having a baby not too long ago but i'm wondering when it will get back to "normal", so to speak. I'm also down 10lbs with my weight watchers. The weight is coming of steadily however that skin flap from having a 10lb baby is not going away. I think i'm just going to order a tummy tuck now.
I signed up for the St Patty's 8K (almost 6 miles) along with TWO, count 'em, TWO Tough Mudders! The first TM is in June in Portland and the second in October in Seattle. I'm going to be on a team with Scott and a few other Coasties from various units and the second is just going to be Scott and I. I tried to talk Scott into running the St Patty's race with me but he said he'd rather be my cheerleader/picture taker. Which is fine with but I hope he knows i'm not sharing my free beer.
I love that you're already filling up your race schedule. All those races will keep you on your toes and chugging towards goal after goal. I really want to do a Tough Mudder. The TM that is here is the week after my 24 hour relay. I don't know if I'll have it in me. :/
ReplyDeleteKeep on training. Your body will catch up with you. Your attitude will shift to enjoying it all. Don't give up, just keep going and pushing yourself. You've have 4 babies, this will be easy for you.
