I went for my first run today since I was about 13 weeks pregnant with Malia. Kekoa was super excited that I was going to be running and wanted to come along. He told Scott, as we were leaving, that it was just going to be him and mommy today. :)
Dr. Teagle reminded me at my 6 week postnatal checkup, on Monday, that I would need to take it slow, that I haven't run in a long time and I wouldn't be where I was before. Boy, was she right. It was tough running, I felt so out of shape. I don't remember feeling that out of shape after having Kekoa. I was pushing the jogging stroller too, with Kekoa in it, so maybe that is why it was extra hard?
Kekoa was like my little trainer. I would run for a few minutes then stop to walk a little bit. Each time I stopped, he would say, "Why you not running mommy?". It was very cute.
After playing for awhile at the motorcycle park, we were ready to leave. Normally, after running to the park, I walk home. Again, my little trainer motivated me to keep running. He wanted to run home, so I did, a few minutes of running, mixed in with walking. While the running was tough, it did feel great to get back out there.
