My running these days has been kind of sporadic. How is the weather? What do I have time for? When did I last feed the baby? Before I was pregnant, I was running more miles so it took longer to complete my runs. Every week starts off with the intention to run a few times... But then I look at the calendar, see how much time has passed and wonder where all the time went! Seriously, motherhood will do that to you! Since I'm base building at this point, it doesn't take me that long to go for a run. I always say I'm getting into a routine, but then something changes. I'm back to work now so we are trying to figure out what is the new normal... So my goal right now is to run when I can, hopefully 2 days a week. We'll see how things go.
Since the arctic temperatures in Chicago seemed to have temporarily subsided, I deceived to take advantage over the weekend and I went for a run with Patsy! The snow was mostly melted, the roads were clear and it wasn't too cold. Since Patsy is still in the infant carrier, I got to look at her for the whole run. She loved it! She was giving me big smiles and she almost fell asleep just as I was finishing up. I seriously have so much respect for moms that run lots of miles with their jogging strollers. It is so much harder than I thought it would be, especially with the wind I wasn't expecting. I'm looking forward to spending some time with my little girl while logging some miles as well!
