SORRY! I have been a terrible blogger and an even worse runner the past week! We took off to Utah and although I had high hopes (I did pack my running shoes and clothes) it snowed pretty much non stop the ENTIRE time we were there and with hubby at home I had no one to leave the baby with to try to hit the gym. I sort of wrote off the week which I feel a little guilty about but no worries, I'm back in the game and there will be no more slacking on my part!
The puppy was SO happy that baby and I were home after a week of being home alone all day she just about DIED when I got out my running shoes. So we (all 3 of us) hit the trail this morning, more grateful than ever for the warm California sun. Apparently the puppy already forgot how to run along side the stroller in a non-annoying way so our run was a little rough. We were out of our groove and we'll have to work hard this week to find it. I did 55 min of running/walking with quite a bit more walking in there than usual, but like I said, we'll find our groove again soon!
On an exciting note, guess what I am sitting here wearing as we speak? Jeans that are NOT maternity! I know, I know my baby is almost 4 months old and these are bigger jeans I bought when I was first pregnant but the point is, they button, I can sit down in them and I am feeling pretty happy about that! Something weird happened last week and I lost 7 pounds (I guess being at the mercy of other people for food?) which I know isn't good while nursing but that puts me at a grand total of 13 pounds since beginning this running adventure. I am hoping to get down another 15-20 before the half. I guess we'll see!
So sorry Mique about the toe, I had an injury when I first started running a few years ago and was really surprised at how fast I got back into things once I was able to run again. So no Jessica, you will not be doing this alone!!

yeah!!! glad you had fun and made it back home! and 13 lbs??? what the???what's my problem? i think i've lost 4. i guess it's better than nothing!
Way to go Brooke! That's awesome! I think it's fine to lose weight while you're nursing, as long as you're makin' milk, what's the problem, right?
I'm so glad you came to Utah first-hand and saw all our snow. This year has been crazy...nothing like our college years.
I read its only ok to lose about 2 lbs a week since if your body burns too much fat it can release something bad in your milk. But I think the 7 lbs was a fluke so we won't worry about it and just be glad the jeans fit!
And yes, the snow is CRAZY!
