When you cross the finish line after running a 10k and have a proud toddler cheering for you, a proud boyfriend cheering for you, and one little lady pointing at you shouting “Milk! Milk!” Starting to feel a little bit like she’s using me… And she was not happy about my bib number in the way of her food!
This year I signed up with intentions of training, but life has just been busy!
So, the Long Beach Turkey Trot…
I did the 10k. It was brutal. I ran it last year, but I was also running regularly last year. This year I signed up with intentions of training, but life has just been busy! I figured well, I used to run, I can still run, right? Eh… It doesn’t quite work like that.
My body is pretty angry today, but I’m hoping this will jump start my fitness again.
I did finish, and it took an hour and ten minutes. Last year with training, it still took an hour and 6 minutes. I was pretty happy with my time. I really run for mental health benefits so even my time last year wasn’t what runners would call “fast,” but I’m not out there to break any records. My body is pretty angry today, but I’m hoping this will jump start my fitness again. I really need it in my life.
Nursing an older baby is different.
Now, back to why I’ve been so busy…
I’ve been doing a ton of work on my blog lately and this week specifically, I’ve been putting together another article about nursing. (I wrote one when Isabelle was younger after nursing her as a baby and K for 13 months.) But Isabelle is 18 months now, and nursing an older baby is different.
“Isn’t she too old?!”
The upcoming article compiles some questions and answers about nursing an older baby (“Isn’t she too old?!”) and also includes some of my favorite nursing must-haves (mostly from Essential Bodywear because I’m obsessed with their nursing cami!) Stay tuned! And please send positive healing vibes for my aching body
