Saturday was hot and windy, and I made it out for 7 hard miles to deem a half marathon "doable". It won't be easy, and I have a ways to go to be ready, but it'll be a great way to celebrate the last day of maternity leave. Seems an appropriate bookend to my very pregnant 5k race.
So I have my work cut out for me:
10k in less than 4 weeks
Half marathon in less than 5.
Bring it on!
And what's a post without baby pics?
Among the many cheese-tastic games we play, I call one "big!". It involves a very annoying baby voice by me asking who wants to be big over and over. Good thing I'm home alone. Anyway, they practice sitting up and standing. Got to start building those runner legs early!
And while one is sitting/standing, the other sits right here:
Because HEAVEN FORBID someone not be held for .0005 seconds all day. My arms are getting ripped. Thanks, boys!

Woohoo!!! You can so handle a half! Crazy to think your mat leave is going to be over already. :( We get a year here in Canada so I am always shocked at how quickly some of my friends soth of the border have to go back to work.
YAY!! That is so exciting! I am sure you will be all ready to run 13.1 miles in 5 weeks! Those little boys should be so proud of their mama! Wow they get a year of maternity leave in Canada! Crazy!
you can do it!
Honestly, you are making you baby boys do core workouts...I respect that...I really do.
The pictures of your little guys keep making me smile.
Happy training!
well if your legs give out your arms will be strong enough to carry you home. i do think you're nuts for doing a half already. popping babies out would be my excuse to be lazy for many many years...
You. Are. The. Woman.

Hi! I have 4 week old twins and a toddler and want to start running to get back in shape. I'm hoping to do a 5k in October. When do you run? I'm hoping to find some time in the day but I've been feeding/burping/changing babies for the past 3 hours! I think I might do the couch to 5k training. Any tips? Thanks! Your boys are beautiful!
very cool! i never got my running mojo back enough to get back to a half, so GO YOU!!!
also, have to ask...looks like a birthmark on one little guy's cheek..if it is and you want any info on what we went through (though most was posted on my blog), let me know!
good for you! They are so cute. That is definitely a benefit - the ripped arms. I don't know how you do it with 2 all day!!
