Seaside Cross Country Meet

In September we headed south to Seaside, OR for Sarah and Veronica's cross-country meet. V wasn't running because of an injury, but we were able to see Sarah run. I ran at the same meet when I was in high school, so it was fun to be back and see one of my sisters running in it. Nolan had a great time, there was a lot of open spaces for him to run as well! The drive was a bit long, as I was experiencing a lot of morning (all day) sickness at the time, but it was well worth it!

Go Sarah!

Last summer before I was pregnant with Nolan, Nate and I were in pretty good running shape.  We had just finished the San Francisco half-marathon and were looking for another one to run in the fall.  Then we found out I was pregnant.  I still ran those first few weeks, but I took it nice and easy. Then morning (ALL DAY!) sickness took over for ten long weeks and my weekly miles faded away and stayed gone until just recently.  Lately, we have been wanting to start up again and with our awesome new jogging stroller we have the chance.  We are running a 5k in October and Nolan will be joining us as well!  The couch to 5k plan is assisting us in getting back in shape.  It is super easy and starts with a mix of running and walking which is a great way to ease my out of shape legs and stretched out tummy back into the swing of things.  Nolan seems to enjoy his jogging stroller, most of the time he falls asleep!

About to go for a run...
