God who heals us

God healed my son. There is no medical explanation how he came out ok. This we know. We also know that my antibody test came back negative when it should have been positive. If it was positive then they would have tested and tested until our situation was found. Then we would have been monitored weekly and blood transfusions invitro. Now of that happened. It was by the grace of God we have him here today with us unharmed. Today at church I had an overwhelming feeling of not deserving to have our miracle baby...never had that before. I felt like what did I do to deserve this miracle? Nothing God loves me that much.

First back to back run

Yesterday and today was the first time so far I have ran two days in a row. Felt good. Actually great. Ran 5km yesterday and 8 km today. Love love love it and missed missed missed it. I think I mentioned my miracle child got a thumbs up from his first neurology appointment so we are happy and thank God for that. You know God is so good to us. Christian is such a testimony in our lives and we are so thankful every single day. Looking forward to 6 months when he can join me in my jogging stroller.

Late but....

Late I know
So on a HOT and HUMID Sunday with my 3 month/3 week old cheering me with my sister I ran a 27:40 5km!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah I got my goal of under 30 atleast. Was it my best? Probably not. If you have noticed from previous posts I do not do well in the heat. Needless to say I am one happy mama. I am continuing to keep up on the 5 kms. I have ran a few 6 kms too. I am back on www.yogatoday.com once a week plus 3 runs plus a baby waves aerobic class and a mommy/baby yoga class plus numerous walks in a week. I am active and loving it! Summer is here and we are swimming away in Nanny's pool almost every day as well. We are lucky it's heated so today was 83 degrees :) I have been shopping online alot which is bad...an umbrella stroller, sunscreen (Badger Baby SPF 30 - rated the BEST all natural there is apparently...) sunglasses, uv clothes. All for my guy. He is 4 months today. Can't wait til he hits 6 months and we hit the jogging stroller together.

Less than a week away

I have been running 5 km for awhile now. I am ready. I am very happy as well with how well the training has gone and my weight loss so far. Running has been the least of my worries lately. We are trying to massively de clutter our house, still trying to juggle a 3 1/3 month old and little sleep and dealing with a range of emotions from our medical meetings last week regarding our future conception plan. We have an extremely rare blood type problem. Our specialist said he did a study of it 22 years ago and couldn't find one born in Canada for a year to study so they had to fly people in from Jamacia...our baby literally is a miracle but we knew that right from the start :)

Up to 5kms

Last week we got up to 5km on distance. We are running 3 8 minutes with walk breaks in between of one minute. It feels great. I am exited for the race. 2 weeks away. Still a lot of pounds but that's ok. My legs are working really well. We have had interesting weather. Rain to muggy and hot and back again. I am a colder weather runner. Considering my first half I trained in 5 weeks for from running 10kms to running over 20kms in the fall. As soon as the heat broke I could run for way longer and it seemed so easy! It is supposed to be a hot summer...

Eating

I am currently not dieting. I am still nursing my 16lb 3 month old and clearly it is working! He is growing so big! My diet is just out of wack. I am so hungry all the time. I eat toast, protein shake and fruit for breakfast. Snacks are nuts, yogurt, cereal, apples, oranges, bananas, carrots and cheese. I drink milk and water and lunch is usually soup or leftovers. I can't get cobtrol over the eating right now because I need to keep my milk and energy up so I am not focusing on this part so much.

8 minute§

This week is 8 and 1 times 3 with some warm up and cool down. Feels great and it is getting easier and easier. Baby is 12 weeks and I have about 20lbs to lose still. Not rushing it. I still have some c section pain as well. My legs feel great and I continue to work on pick ups and speed work. Looking forward to 3 weeks from now and my race :)
