I strapped on two sports bras (I can't wait to get my small chest back) and went on my first postpartum run today! I haven't gone for a run in close to a year, so I took it easy with a 1.5 mile run with 2 minute jog/walk intervals. The first half mile was a bit rough (I was a little too excited and went out too fast) and I was thinking that I was crazy for missing running so much. Luckily after that first half mile I got into my groove and loved it. I was running on the same creek path that I went on walks on with when Salma was in my belly and it felt so weird to not be preggers anymore and have that huge heavy belly.
Speaking of huge bellies, I am 8 pounds heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight and around 12 pounds from my healthy weight. I ended up gaining 31 pounds during this pregnancy which is nothing compared to the 60 pounds I gained with Octavio (crazy, I know). Next run is on Monday!
