A Long-Awaited Trip

joggingI love to run.  Because of a complication early in my pregnancy I wasn’t able to run at all.  It has been over 10 months since I went for a run.  Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t change anything.  I was very greatful to be able to carry and birth a healthy baby.  But every time I saw someone out for a jog I would look forward to the day when I could go running again.  Sunday marks 6 weeks since I delivered and the day of clearance to run again.  I decided to cheat and go a few days early.  On Thursday, I put on my running shoes and sunglasses, grabbed my ipod, complete with my obsenely offensive hip hop music that makes a great workout soundtrack, left the baby with Aaron and headed out the door.  As I rounded the corner to begin my run I teared up just a bit.  The long-awaited day had finally come. I ran a mile and a half and it was awesome!

  1. This reminds me of Charlotte from the Sex in the City movie!! I love all the “faces”! So sweet.

  2. Katie, You are amazing — did you really have a baby, if I hadn’t seen the stomach I wouldn’t believe it! Eljah is adorable, the kissy face pic a favorite, but I especially love the photos with Plato. They will be big buddies. Looking forward to seeing you soon (at Duck Derby probably!) Congrats to you and Aaron and welcome to the world little Zimmerbaby! Hugs,
