Happy Friday

Yeah, it's finally Friday. The weeks have been dragging lately. Today, we do not have a lot on the agenda. I plan to run after work and then go pick up Jude. I decided to start back with the Couch to 5K plan. I started on week 3 and will do my second workout tonight. I should be starting week 4 on Monday.
I think we are just going to stay home and relax tonight. Tomorrow is Becky's bach. party and Sunday is Jude's bday party. I will have to post some pics. My little boy is getting so big!!
So this weekend is going to fly by. Oh well! In two weeks we have a long weekend for President's Day. Jude is getting his tongue surgery on the 11th. Hopefully, he will recover easily so we can enjoy our long weekend off together.

New day

Well it's Tuesday and so far, so good this week. Last night I had my second workout on the treadmill. I did walking/running intervals for 25 minutes. My stomach was still a little full from dinner so it was pretty low impact. I'm thinking the best time to exercise is going to be right after work once Jim gets home. The past two weeks he has been working 10 hour days so I have been having to work out later than I would like to. Oh well.
Oh another note, I'm planning on doing my first 5K in April. I wasn't going to follow any training programs but I think I'm going to look at Couch to 5K and see if I could start on week 3 or 4. I will keep you posted.

On Sunday, Jude took 2 steps. My little guy is getting so big.

Treadmill is ready to go

Today was my first workout on my treadmill. It went ok because I was trying to use a program and the speeds and intervals were a bit off of what Im used to. I need to start off slow again and build up my distance. I ended up running a mile at a slow pace (12:00). I think I could have went faster but the computer was adjusting the speed and intervals as I was running. I liked the feature because it will make it easier when I run outside, but I never ran on a treadmill with an incline of 4%. I will make sure to adjust the #'s in the program before starting. After the timed mile, I did walking intervals for 10 minutes. So far, I like the treadmill. I'm making a goal of 5 days per week. Wish me luck!!

Is it Friday yet?

Wow! This week has been going slow. Jude had to go to the doctors again to check his ears and he still has an infection. I do not get it though because he is so happy and shows zero signs of being sick. I'm hoping this new medicine clears it up. We go back to the doctor next Thursday.
This week has been a no go for exercise. With changing semesters and the doctors I have been busy. I am looking forward to the delivery of my treadmill on Saturday. I also have decided on my first 5K. It is in mid April in good ole Shippensburg.
Well I must get ready for my first class. Hasta luego.

Long time, no post

Well, I just found this blog that I created a long time ago. Life is going well. I'm back to work. Jude is 11.5 months old. He is such a sweet boy. I have recently made some running goals and hope to run my first 5K this spring. I have not picked a specific race because there is not much in my area but I plan to pick one shortly. I have been researching.

New Addition

On Wednesday, Jim and I found out we are having a baby. We are really excited. We shared the news with our parents and siblings on Friday evening. It was Kitten's bday and she was really excited. We gave both of our moms a card to surprise them. Our first doctor's appointment is this coming Friday. I think I am meeting with a nurse and verifying the pregnancy. This will be a different and exciting summer vacation for me.
