The start of something......

......I'm just not sure what!

Today is the start of getting back into shape. Why today? Matilda was born exactly 7 weeks ago, Poppy returns to Kindy this week and the suspension to my gym membership finishes tomorrow. The time is right!

So my original plan was to go back for my first session at the gym on Wednesday. That is the first day Poppy is back at Kindy and I just figured it would be easier for me to ease back into the gym only having one child in the crèche. The plan was to do a walk on the treadmill, some light weights and core work. I also wanted to have a go at running just to see how it felt. I figured I'd know pretty quickly whether I was good to go or not. That was Plan A.

Then Plan B came along.

Gym membership suspension finishes tomorrow, why wait until Wednesday? Surely it won't be too hard taking 2 kids to the crèche. I'll have to do it in a couple of weeks anyway so why not just do it now? I was still planning to do walking, weights and core and of course a trial run.

Plan C then arrived!

This afternoon, as a family, we went to the park. I decided that because it was Matilda's sleep time, I would walk there with my new BOB pram. Trent and Poppy drove and met me there. So off I set with every intention of walking at a cracking pace. Well, 5 minutes into the walk I just couldn't resist - running! And it felt ok! Legs of course felt pretty shit, but other than that I felt good. No pain, no leakages (a big concern) and I wasn't too unfit. I managed to get to the park in 15 minutes, 9 and a half of which were running!

So of course there is now a Plan D!

I WILL go to the gym tomorrow and see how I go running on the treadmill. This is very exciting as I will be able to get a good idea of where I am at. Should be interesting.

That is if I can walk in the morning!
