Somehow despite not paying much attention, I am firmly 1 pound above my pre-pregnancy weight. Which was also my marathon weight. So, I think I need to stop thinking in those terms and just realize that I'm back and what happens from now on is all me and has nothing to do with pregnancy or breastfeeding anymore! My belly is still a bit squishy. My abs are back, have been for a long time, it's either that my skin is still stretchy or I just have a bit more fat there still. But, the rest of me looks pretty much like before, my arms might even be better!
I keep meaning to add a weekly speed workout. I really DO want to run a fast 5 mile Turkey Trot. But...somehow that particular workout is eluding me. I've been great at 5 mile BOB runs, and have been not only enjoying them but pushing it, loving the hills, feeling it in my butt as I power up them. I've been running 3 days a week, which is pretty good and fairly normal even in my pre-baby life. Four days would be better (especially if #4 was the speed...).
I've been training a little bit with Bea and Sarita (Sarita, that's twice you've been mentioned! And yet you never comment, so this might be it unless you respond here...even anonymously!). Sarita has recently become very committed and has invited me to join her training sessions so she doesn't cheat as much. Competition is good! And it's been fun for me, I swear I do work hard when I lift by myself, yet it's nothing like being trained. Bea's good, what can I say!
I took one of Bea's spin classes Monday (no school) and it has been a LOOONG time since I spun. I miss it! But I can pretty much never take a weekday class as the early ones are too late and the evening ones are too early. Oh well! More running.
Ok, and one more thing I just noticed...Andra's name is in this blog! musclesANDRA. How weird is that???

You have a track at your school? Hit that after you get done teaching!
Cool about ANDRA's name. :)
andRA.. wow!!
you are doing great given everythig (baby, work)
MusclesANDRA! Ha! I vote for the track after school. You should get this Hudson training book that I'm reading. It's got track workouts and (I believe) a 3-4 day/week running schedule for shorter races. I find I only stick to track workouts when I have a plan.
The extra skin on the belly -- I'm way below pre-preg weight and I still have a squishier belly and tons of extra skin. I'm not convinced it's really going to go away.
