In October 2008, I made it to my FIRST (not last!) marathon. After the arrival of our baby boy in May 2009, I'm back to running, this time with my boy who loves to say, "Mommy run!" I'm a couch potato at heart, now a runner with turtle-like speed . "Better slow than not at all" is my mantra. Oh, and, "Who moved the finish line?"

Getting there
Slowly but surely. I did manage to get to the gym Monday and Tuesday, and I managed to do a 5-minute walking warmup, followed by one-minute run/one-minute walk alternations for another 10 and then solid running for 5-6 minutes towards the end. It didn't even such! I took Wednesday off and walked a lot on campus today, but already feel like I'm losing traction, especially since my boy cried, on and off, the entire 45 minutes I was working out on Monday. When I asked the babysitters why they didn't come get me as they were supposed to per gym policy, they said, "well, he'd stop every now and then." Great. So I'm back to tag-teaming the gym action with my husband. *sigh* But I have committed to doing this ONE thing, so persist I will!
