I can run!

I'll update on a few things first!

AK slept through on Thursday night, no dreams! It was great to have her crawling into bed with me around 630am knowing we'd both had a wonderful night's sleep. She was quite happy to go off to daycare yesterday. The classroom was going to have a visit from a parrot on Friday, I believe. Should be interesting to hear about that.

Yesterday was the last day of the 40 day challenge. We finished it up with a wonderful class last night, and there is a potluck this afternoon that should be really fun.

So after all this yoga, I got to wondering what my cardio health was like, and my friend wants me to do a 5K run on St. Patrick's Day, so I wandered over to her place to run on the treadmill. Only a couple of obstacles - I went to another friend's first and her treadmill was in awful condition - and I forgot I was supposed to wear RUNNING SHOES to run in. Ha. So I went barefoot, not something I'll do going forward but it wasn't too bad for me.

Anyway... I can run. What a shocker. The last time I ran, I must have been newly pregnant with AK as I remember a guy hopping on the treadmill next to me and I had to leave as the smell of either his clothing or his sweat made me feel ill. I never went back to that gym again. So we're talking late 2007 as the last time I ran. I don't hate running anymore, can't say I like it but I certainly dislike it a lot less than I used to! My breathing was way easier and I pretty much picked up exactly where I left off years ago - running 9 mins, walking 1 min to recover.

Gotta get moving and get ready for this potluck!!! xo
