3 weeks postpartum...went for a 3 mile run....

and feel GREAT!  It was hard, I went slow, and I think I was more "falling forward and catching myself with my feet" instead of "running", so now I am going to see if I have anymore pp bleeding.  It felt good to get my pulse up and get out of the house.  

Here's to making time for ourselves to EXERCISE!!

    Well Done!  Slow and steady is the best plan from what I have heard.  Ease into it and you will be back to your old self in no time.  I am 21 weeks pregnant and am keeping up with a slower version of running.  Did you run during your pregnancy?

    I ran until I was about 25 weeks, and then switched to run/walk until about 36 weeks, and then just walking the last 4.  I definitely think it helped me recover quickly!  Good luck!
