I ran a 5K today ..AW

first since Leo was born.  No I didn't do it in record breaking time with a stomach bug and pregnant with tooth pain lol.

but I did do it 32:13.  Very excited. 

Sorry to ome back after a hiatus and AW but this is HUGE for me.  I quit smoking when I found out I was pregnant with Leo and this was also the first time I have run smoke free!  Very exciting.

That's awesome! Did you notice a difference between running smoke-free and from when you ran as a smoker?

HUGE difference.  I ran a 5k last Sept (didn't know I was pregnant) and was smoking. My time was 45+ minutes I would say.  But the one I did even before that about 6 months earlier I did around 43 44 minutes. So today my goal was under 40 minutes. 

I have to admit that I did some training for it and I am super pleased with the results. 
The other HUGE difference was that my lungs didn't bother me in the least.  The only things that posed a bit of a slow down for me were my legs.  Used to be I would have to stop and catch my breath. 

So I have lost all my babyweight and quit smoking I knew I had to do something or the weight would creep back on so I took up running again. 

BTW I didn't push leo .. I am not even close to being ready for that.  Plus he is only four months old.. He would get too fussy and probably isn't even old enough to be pushed in a jogger
