This is a couple weeks after our wedding. We are with Matt's godson Quinn at his baptism.
This is me about a month before birth (tailgating at a UConn football game - with my little brother Sam):
Ya, I would love to have that wedding body back now (like right now please!!!)
So, my friend Stephanie suggested Couch-to-5K program. She used it and has been running lots of 5K's lately. She just did one this past Sunday in Hartford with her husband. (Yea Steph and Barn!!!) I ran a bit to get into shape for my big day so I know running will do wonders for my body and fast. I just truly truly hate running. I have never developed much of an endurance for it. Even when I had 10 dance classes a week and was dancing constantly - I still could never handle running. Well, this program is suppose to be the right fit for someone like me. Someone who can't stand running.
Today, is my first day trying it. What is nice, my husband Matt is along for the ride too. We did day one of the recommended schedule. And let me tell you - it was brutal.
But I did it and ran/walked for 25 minutes at 60 to 90 second intervals. My knees hurt, I am tired and still feel a bit winded. But I am told this will get better as I go. Oh, there is also another fun problem I came across with running after pregnancy but more on that later. And I will do it again on Wednesday. Not looking forward to that at all.
On another note:
To each post I am going to add a dinner tonight section. I am always trying to come up with ideas for dinner so I thought it I start writing them down maybe I get more creative with what we eat and get some new ideas.
Dinner tonight: Chili cheese dogs (grilled) with french fries and baked beans - timeless for a beautiful day like today
