Is anybody there?

Wow,  I have not posted in such a long time.  Probably because so much has been happening.  I had my fifth child just six months ago so I have been focused on my new baby, he makes boy number 4 but don't worry I have 1 daughter that keeps everyone in line.  I did what I could to keep fit and keep moving during the pregnancy, but there are so many things out of control during that time.  I even participated in a neighborhood 5k.  I walked the whole time and came in last by a long ways but I am proud that I finished especially since I was 8+ months pregnant.  I continued to walk my kindergartner home from school until it got too cold, just a few weeks before I had my baby.   I gained about 30 lbs, not too bad, my beautiful baby weighed 10 lbs 1 oz and was 23 inches so not little by any means!

So now I have been trying to get back into some sort of workout routine and figuring out a time that works well for me.  Lately I have been doing Turbo Fire by Beachbody and love it.  I also really want to get my running legs back.  I have been running (okay jogging) for a few months but I am so far from where I want to be.  I have been training for a 5k that I have signed up to run in two days.  I really want to break that 30 min time but I know for me a realistic time will be closer to 36 min, I guess we'll see.  A friend has asked me if I want to run a half marathon with her at the end of July but I just don't see how I can be ready by then.  I do however really want to run the Pink Series half marathon again in Park City in October.

As a side note, I headed up a 28 day fitness challenge for my neighborhood during February in which I posted a daily fitness challenge and I think it went over really well.  I have been asked to keep it going, but it takes time and haven't been back to it.  So if you are interested about it check it out here at http://yourfitnessity.blogspot.com.  Hopefully soon I can get back to it and keep it going!
