Still an object in motion.

Working to stay in motion.
I can tell you that once you have started moving it is much easier to do a little bit every day. I haven't made much progress on couch to 5k and I'm just going with the flow. I got up to do it this morning (woke up at 4 am..WHY?) and felt really excited to do it and as I stood on the front porch stretching in the dark it started sprinkling. I thought hrm, this might feel lovely, a few cool sprinkles while I go for it and then out of nowhere the wind picked up and it was raining sideways. It was almost laughable like, holy cow, if I'd left a couple minutes earlier I'd..well..I'd have been wet. heh.(What was I going to say there? AHH, I could've blown away!? what?)

Yesterday I went back to the restorative yoga class I was going to after Beebs was born. It felt so good then. I was in this totally surreal state, feeling like a different person having just become a mom, with a body that felt unfamiliar, a body much smaller than the one I'm in right now. The teacher is different now which makes me kinda sad but she'll grow on me. The class then felt kind of miraculous because I was getting to know the smaller me and getting more limber and less bulk in the way and I'm eager to find that place (and beyond) again.

We have been doin' a bit of swimming, walks in the park, etc. I took Beebs on a walk on a trail the other day and she was so over it. I had an app on that was tracking distance/speed/calories/etc. While on a walk with Beebs we totally MEANDER. I'm fine with that but it doesn't burn much. ha. Beebs was feeling a little off that day, kind of puny. We walked a little over a mile and I wish the app could tell which parts of my walk were spent carrying a 35-40lb kid! In the end I was cruising up this hill with Beebs and the app congratulated me on burning what equaled 4 carrots. Woo!

So this probably sounds super mundane. I usually love reading posts like this. I totally love hearing about people's day to day - especially "day-in-the-life" type posts. I'm just excited to be able to come back to this and see The Start.
