This is a weekly thread for runners who were due June 2014, that is posted on Mondays. All who run--or who want to start running--are welcome, regardless of mileage, pace, ability, size, shape, or terrestrial status. We had this thread during pregnancy, now it's time to lose that baby weight. 

How were your runs and workouts this week? 

What are your plans for health/fitness this week?

GTKY: Favorite healthy snack right now?

How were your runs and workouts this week? Good. Two strength and two runs. 

What are your plans for health/fitness this week? Now that I am WFH twice a week I plan to go to the gym on those days during my lunch break to guarantee I get those workouts in. I have two run days planned, and then another two strength days on Friday nights and Saturday mornings before DD's swim class that starts this week!

GTKY: Favorite healthy snack right now? Mashed avocado with a little diced onion, diced tomato, garlic salt and pepper on wheat toast

How were your runs and workouts this week? 

Actually pretty good! I ran with the stroller for the first time and E loved it! Pushing the stroller is no joke, but I am so excited to be able to bring him out with me now. Hopefully now I will be able to get more runs in.

What are your plans for health/fitness this week?

It is supposed to be really cold here this week so I am not sure - I am hoping for at least 3 runs depending on if it is warm enough to bring E with me. I would really like to start to increase my mileage and work on my endurance as that is something I am still really struggling with post partum.  @babygabe614 we are starting swim lessons soon too! I am super excited! I was surprised that the infant class is every Saturday/Sunday for 5 weeks. Twice a week seems a bit much for a baby but I am still really excited to get him in the pool!

Veggies with red pepper or garlic hummus. Yum! I also do a lot of avocados with a little balsamic.

@frenchchocolate611 Our swim lessons are through the local high school and they had a twice-a-week option as well, but I felt like that was too much - for LO, and for our schedules since they are on weeknights which are already so packed for us. The 2x/week one was also for 12 weeks! That seemed crazy long so we are going Saturday mornings for 8 weeks instead. Let us know how yours go! I am super excited to get DD started, but at the same time I recall her reaction to the ocean not being so great so this could quite possibly be a total bust, haha.

You ladies rock!  I'm so impressed that you did so well over the holidays!!

How were your runs and workouts this week? Okish.  We got back from our trip on Wednesday.  I lifted Thursday, did short treadmill Friday, and ran 3 miles Saturday.  Saturday was rough.  After over a week between runs we didn't make our goal, we wanted to do 6.  

What are your plans for health/fitness this week? Hoping to get my miles back up, running tonight, and 2-3 other times this week.  Our 15k is in a month! We are doing the sugar free thing, day 5 and I feel pretty good!  It sucks, but I guess thats life.

GTKY: Favorite healthy snack right now?  Banana with Almond Butter!  Soooo yummy!  

@babygabe614  I'm so jealous that you are able to work from home. I'm not sure I'd get anything done if I did though.

@lola4411  I would freak out too, good luck!  Will you be able to facetime/skype?

lola4411

@sjdihle yes we will be facetiming whenever i get the free time.  i am worried about confusing him though!  it will be a looooooong four days
