Yes! What a way to start the weekend! On an endorphin high! Started the weekend off with my first jog since early pregnancy and it felt incredible. Round the bays, a beautiful morning. I jogged just under 5km in under half an hour and felt like I had more in me too. Looking forward to the next one already (though I’ll probably be hobbling about tomorrow!).
The sound of the waves, the gulls cawing over head looking for their breakfast, a random rooster crying out ‘cock-a-doodle-doo’.
The wind on my face, the spring in my step. The intoxicating feeling of lungs full of fresh air and muscles working hard.
Yes! Yes! Yes! These endorphins are sooooo good (she says punching the air and doing a hi-5).
The girls think I’ve gone mental. I’m jumping around the house like a crazy Easter rabbit.
Okay, back to reality. The washing machine is calling me….

Oh dear. I really SHOULD get to exercising.
Go for it girl! You’ve been working up to this with your buggy pushing and now you’re onto the real thing. I do recall seeing something about mums jogging seriously pushing buggies but I would think it is much more fun without. I’m not a natural runner so had a major sense of achievement when I got up to 1.7 miles(less than you’ve just done!) but the knee put a stop to that. You’ll be running marathons next.
What a very cool post to read on a sunny Saturday morning – I am inspired to get out there too myself after reading this! Well done and glad you enjoyed it!!

Wow! Good on you! I haven’t been for a run in a few years…and you can tell! lol
Cheers Ruta. Perhaps I should go all out for the ‘Round the Bays’ half marathon here in February 2011. Problem is I’m a fair weather runner at the moment – really need to build up my stamina and start running head on into the southerlies – argh!
Thanks Jen! x
You’ll welcome and go on, dust off those cobwebs, Spring is coming – yah!!! x
