Day 10

Today I succeeded in my plans to run/walk my errands and then some! Yeah! I walked/ran quite a ways (pushing Ethan) and really pushed myself in between stores. Also, when I got back to the apartment complex I did another 14 minutes of run/speed walking on the treadmill. I'd hoped to get some idea of how far I could run after already having pushed so hard, but Ethan was having none of it, so I had to keep bending over (legs still going) to reinsert his pacifier or jiggle the stroller, etc. So the quality of my exercise was compromised. I did get through at least 5 straight minutes of running though before I had to reduce my speed to deal with him. Afterward I made sure to stretch really well (he'd finally fallen asleep, but I needed to go do some chores).

I feel really proud of my accomplishment today and I'm feeling more and more confident that I can actually do this!

I had another event to attend this evening, so I didn't get to writing yet, but I plan to get at least 1/2hr in before bed. Thus, I end this post. :-D
