Getting Back in Shape...OUCH!!


Eating at McDonalds...
This is a game we play called..."let Dane play with a cookie while mom cleans up the kitchen"...
Granted I was pushing him in 85 degree heat!
Look how red I am after 2 miles!!!!

After our run!! He's in the sink since Michael is working on the bathroom!!


All Clean after my bath

Ok, so we've got a family tradition on the Bowditch side where we have to run the 4 mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. The whole Bowditch clan does it except Gina (Michael's mom) of course since she is at home making all of the wonderful food for the day! Babies are pushed in strollers by Grandpa Bowditch and the rest of the clan runs it. Needless to say, I haven't done anything for the last few months thanks to the help of the calorie burning breastfeeding and holding Dane every second of the day! I've been able to lose all my baby weight easily but now it's about building some endurance and strength. I decided yesterday  I need to pick it up and do something so I went out with Dane and ran! It was great until I died at 2 miles. All I could think about in my head was...wow...I still have 2 more come November! So that's what Dane and I are going to be doing a few nights a week! 
The rest of week was great! Dane and I have a pretty easy schedule each day that we stick to. Most importantly is our "quiet" time from the advice of Aunt Kathy! Between 1 and 3 in the afternoon we just relax together by reading or just taking a long nap. It's good for us both!
Michael invited Dane and I to go to Michigan with him on a business trip this week so we're excited about that! Hope everyone out there is enjoying this hot hot weather!!!

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14
