........Can't think of a Title

   I got up this morning and noticed in the mirror that I am finally starting to trim up a little, which makes me feel a bit better. This week I've started back up on my "Punish the Abs" workouts 3 days a week, before my pregnancy I was doing 300 Bicycle Crunches, 300 Raised Leg Crunches, 200 K-Bell crunches, and 200 Oblique Crunches three days a week while doing my plank position every other day around 2-3 minutes. I felt great and loved the pain and soreness that came from it, and can't wait to get back to that regimen, right now I average about 100 of each but throughout the day instead of in just one setting.
   Tonight we do 1.5 miles and I wonder if Shauna and I should use this as our speed workout but I am not sure if I want to. I have never tried to focus on speed during runs, though I hear a lot about them. Hopefully we don't get hit by another stop light dang it, I am wondering if she and I should add one day of speed work into the week, maybe at a school track or the YMCA, starting with just a lap to see how we do. I mean the question is: do we really need to? I will talk to Shauna about it and see what she thinks, it would be nice to use one of the weekly runs now, but I don't know how long your speed workouts are supposed to be. Maybe we could just start adding in a few 40 second fast pace sprints in our regular Tuesday runs, I don't really want them close to our long runs though. I think they call them Fartleks, which is a funny word actually.
   Dorian weighed in at 9 lbs and 13.5 oz last night, he should reach 10 lbs by this weekend, he is getting so big. I love this little angel so much, I honestly wish he could stay this little for a while longer as he is growing up too fast already. He is going to be 2 months old next Wednesday, it just doesn't feel like it has been 2 months since he was born but it has been. I hear and read so much: how a lot of mothers don't feel that immediate crazed love and attachment to their newborns, how many parents are disappointed at their newborns appearance as they were expecting something else, and how newborns look funny and weird.... but Dorian was perfect the moment he was born, such a beautiful little baby, and he is exactly as I have pictured and dreamed of for so long. And yes, I felt that crazed love, my heart melted the moment I pulled him out of the water and looked into his eyes staring back at me, my heart stopped and so did time for a just a few moments and I knew then that my life was complete with this little boy.
   Other than those things, everything else is pretty much normal.
