One down...

So I have decided that 30 workouts is my goal. I find that sad and pathetic given the shape I was in at this point last year, but I need to re-start from somewhere, right? Last night I met Rachel and Dori in the middle of their 8 mile run, and managed to go just over 4 miles, and pushed Erica the whole time in her jogging stroller. It was also Erica's first run!

My hips are sore today, but I feel much more centered and grounded. I swear working out is my Prozac, my Ambien, and my Zoloft all wrapped up together and available without a prescription. Not to mention the fact that last night I got to run with two of my favorite therapists, who talked me out of throwing myself, my husband, or the whole family off a cliff. It's amazing the issues you can get worked out in an hour or so of running with friends.

Sorry ladies for hijacking the conversation, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I felt so much more centered and calm and in control after our run, I was able to go home and rationally talk through how Nate and I were going to be able to better handle the work/daycare/home life situation. It's the first time in days I've been able to talk about things and not break down crying and screaming. We made dinner together, and played with Erica, so beginning to end, it was a great evening.

Love you guys!
