Last weekend the run or dye 5k was in town. Of course I hadn't signed up thinking I wouldn't be able to exercise yet if Bayden would have come on or around her due date. When she came early and the nicu stay was over I decided to sign up in hope it would motivate me to start running to help lose those last 10 pounds of baby weight. I didn't train very hard, but got a few run/walks in when Gav would get home from work in the evenings and some walks with the stroller. I know a 5k isn't a big deal, but I was feeling pretty good when I crossed the finish line with a group of friends. I had a baby 10 weeks ago, then, for 43 days she was in the nicu, now she's home, and I just ran my first 5K as a mom! Now, I'm hoping to stay motivated to run a half marathon in 7 weeks. Wouldn't you know the money raised from the run goes to the nicu Bayden stayed at. Too bad funds can't go towards her medical bills.
Last Thursday night, I was really brave and drove with B by myself. We had been driven around by Gavin or Gavin's dad until then. The monitor has never gone off in the car so I decided to try it for a short drive to go to Gavin's softball game. It was nice to be back into an old summer routine and see friends. And of course watch daddy's game.
