Despite the pretty crappy weather, I made out for my first "run" today. It's in quotes as it wasn't much of a run, more of a slow jog. It felt good though. My lungs weren't in as bad a shape as I thought they would be. Hopefully my incision won't be too sore later today - we'll see.
Anyway, after feeding Nicholas (2 goals: 1) he can be left behind and b) less weight=less pain), I headed out for what I thought was about 2 km. When I was about 3/4 of the way through the loop and looked at my watch and saw 16 minutes something, I thought "this better be more than 2 km cause I don't think I'm going THAT slow...". As it turns out, it's just shy of 2 miles, so a bit over 3 km. I felt better - I thought I was going about 10 min/mile, so I was right where wanted. In time, I'll get that down. I just feel good about getting out.
As a reward, I just ate a dates square and 3 pieces of chocolate. Mmmmmm!!!

I am impressed! I have been thinking about running all week (not mention buying new strollers to supposedly make it easier to go running :), but haven't actually bit the bullet yet - and I don't even have the c-section excuse! Just checked the weather for tomorrow and it seems like it will be ok, so tomorrow's the day! Wish me luck...
