I’m slowly starting to exercise again. When I got pregnant, my doctor advised me not to run, hike, or walk on hills. Given my neighborhood is hills in all directions, that was a bummer. When I went for walks I had to drive somewhere. I should’ve done things like swimming and yoga but I never got around to finding places to do them.
Anyway, recently I’ve been hiking on the trails near our house with Jack in the Bjorn, which I really enjoy. I have also begun my return to running, very very slowly. Since it’s been so long and I’m so out of shape I decided to try the Couch to 5K program, which alternates walking and running as you build up endurance. It feels funny to only run for a minute at a time, but I definitely want to take it easy. I’ve only done two rounds so far; once on the weekend and once when Chris got home from work. Yesterday I saw a rattlesnake.
