Went for my first postpartum run today

It was more of a slow jog, really. It felt good to get back out there, but wow, I felt like a turtle.

Oh well, baby steps I guess. I know I can't expect myself to jump right back into the distances and times I was running pre-pregnancy. But I wish I could!

Good job!  I felt the same way when I got back into my runs.  But it felt so great to get back out there.  Because I had a c/s I had to wait till 6 weeks pp -- I went running right after they cleared me at my appointment.  Enjoy getting out there!

The first day back is always the hardest! Congats on getting back out there!

Good for you! I bet it felt great to get back out there even if you felt slow. The first couple weeks of running are always the hardest when you are out of practice. You'll be back to pre-baby speed before you know it.

Way to go!  That's terrific!  I'm not there yet, but I'm looking forward to really exercising soon!!

Good job, Murph! I was thinking about you this weekend and wondering if you got out for a run.
