Not too Awesome a Run, 19 weeks Post Partum and seeing Improvements

    This weekend was supposed to be 8 miles, my gut told me to wait until evening but I really wanted to get my run in and feel great about it so my mom came over this morning at 9 a.m and I headed out for the run. As I got out of my Tahoe, the heat of the sun blasted me, even though it was 85 degrees but there wasn't any clouds, my gut kept telling me not to try but I didn't listen. I ran 7 miles, and they weren't great at all, I couldn't slow down enough, kept pushing below 11 minutes for some reason and the sun was burning my skin.  I am a little upset BUT at least I ran 7 miles  instead of none, so I can look at it like that.
    About an hour ago I headed downstairs to do laundry when I noticed a pair of jeans on the floor, they were my size 9 jeans that I hadn't worn since the 1st-2nd trimester. After having Dorian, within the first month I tried them on out of curiosity and my thighs were too thick, as well as my hips and my stomach so I didn't want to look at them since. I thought what the heck and tried them on, and to my amazement they fit!!! My thighs fit nice and snug, a little bit of a muffin top but not much at all when standing AND my hips had no problem fitting in. Around August last year I was wearing size 7/8 jeans, so being able to wear my size 9 jeans just 19 weeks after giving birth is awesome.
    I probably won't be walking on the days that I don't run, at least not until the weather cools back down again because Dorian can't stand the heat, and I am scared that he might get bit by a mosquito when we've got West Nile around here this year. My baby's life is not going to be put in jeopardy all because I want a little bit o exercise in between runs, heck I'll dance around the living room for a half hour instead. My little angel has 3 teeth coming in, all at the top, one on his left side, one on his right side and the third in the front so he isn't always as cheerful as normal but I can understand.
   Any who, the Half Marathon is 42 days away, about 7 weeks from tomorrow and I am excited. Hopefully it will really start cooling off soon so I can enjoy my long runs dang it.
