the "H" reminded me...

The "H" reminded me that I just had a baby a little over two months ago. Some of you may think I am talking about the husband, but I am actually talking about a different "H"
All my runner friends are familiar with what happens with running... Things get pushed down and you stay very regular. Well Sunday I did an eleven mile run and as was expected, I needed to use the potty afterward. Unfortunately, using the potty blew out my hemorrhoid. OUCH! I haven't had any problems since having the baby, but it is still there. I guess my body just had to remind me. My body felt great after my run, with the exception of my bottom. Not sure how I can prevent it from happening again, but it won't stop me from running.

I haven't posted recently, because things have been going on as expected. I have around 10 pounds to loose, less if I want to be at 135. I'm between a size 6 and 8 right now. My real goal is to get into my old clothes (size 4 & 6), regardless of my weight. I want to feel comfortable in my old clothes like I used to, before I was pregnant. It won't take too much longer.

I also registered for the half marathon on Labor Day. I set my expected time at 2:05, but my real goal is to run the entire race and feel good about myself. My baby will be a little over 3 months old at that point, so I think any time expectation is irrelevant. It's just great I'm getting out there so early after having the baby.
