...a newborn. He is not very cooperative with scheduling feedings/naps/diaper changes around Daddy's long runs. Sheesh... Roll eyes

There's a surprise! Why do you think I waited until my kid was 5 to take up running...? Wink

He sure is cute, though... Smile

But what a cutie! That is why you have to schedule your running around him! I used to have all of my running clothes ready to go and when ds woke up any time after 4 am I would get dressed (and suck down a little food) while dh changed his diaper, nurse him and go go go trying to get back before he needed to nurse again.

Thanks! Where have you been Michelle? I feel like I haven't seen you around much on the boards recently.

I'm pulling myself out of a rut. I've lost motivation to run. I think it's coming back, at least I'm working on it. Confused

I have a marathon on the 4th and as of right now, I'm not feeling ready. It'll still be fun though. I just got back from vacation (Ireland) and while I was there I wasn't online much. Work has been brutal too. Since I was on vacation for 10 days I came back to a mountain of stuff to do. Also...With spring comes more soccer. My daughter's travel soccer team rules my weekends pretty much. Thanks for noticing & asking. Smile

Congratulations on the new runner PWL!! Invest in a good quality stroller that you can run with and you're in business! Smile

I wasn't running back when my kids were babies but I've always wondered how well the running strollers work. Sounds like a perfect way to spend the baby's nap time. Smile

We have invested in a decent jogging stroller. My wife insisted we get one since we both run (she is itching to go since she hasn't been able to run since around January). He's too young to sit in it yet, but I'm sure it will be well used. Smile
