resurfacing

i fully realize that I haven't posted in oh, three and a half or four months, but i have been attending to important things. like growing humans. two humans to be exact. twins. so while even if i wanted to run through the nausea and exhaustion my doctor has given me a red light. cross training - sure. i can ride a stationary bike, use an elliptical, walk, or swim. probably do yoga or the like as well. but no running. i'm not sure if the doctor is concerned i will shake them out of something but i am willing to follow directions. occasionally. and he promised that within three weeks of expelling my little humans (hopefully in december) i can be up and running again. honestly running hasn't been high on my list of priorities for the past few months since i have been battling what can best be described as pregnancy related narcolepsy and an innate urge to rid my body of all food. sort of like a perpetual hang over. without the booze. or the regret. recently though the fog has begun to lift on some days. and as i drive home i see runners out along the river. and i long to be among them. when contemplating this whole have a baby thing i had always thought i would be running through it. slowly of course (if it is possible to run slower than my usual pace) so this has been an adjustment. obviously a well worth it adjustment and it's only another 6 months or so but during peak running season that is not always the easiest to digest. though sleeping in on saturday mornings does have it's benefits as well...
