I'm a runner, triathlete, hiker, road biker, pizza lover, traveler, Ironman, swimmer.....oh, and I gained 45lbs during my recent pregnancy!! I welcomed my baby boy on April 9th and couldn't be happier as a stay at home mom. Can I get my runners endurance and prepregnancy body back or will I be a chubby mom couch potato with a collection of crumbs and spit up on my chest? Only time will tell....

Marathon Training has begun!
I'm happy to report that Matt and I have begun training for the Chicago Marathon, which is on October 9th. I'm so looking forward to the training and the race! The race falls on Jack's 6 month birthday and it's pretty impressive to run a marathon 6 months post pregnancy (if I do say so myself...!!). My sister Carrie will be racing with us, as will my cousin Debbie and her soon to be husband Brian from Seattle. It will be Matt and Brian's first marathon - woo hoo!
It's been an adjustment fitting in a run together with Jack, but we're determined to make it work. Luckily, living with my parents and having my sister Amanda next door makes it a lot easier. Right now Jack is on a pretty consistent schedule with a 7:30pm bedtime, so Matt and I are able to head out the door by 8pm. We'll see how that schedule goes as Jack grows and starts teething, but in the meantime, it works!
