...because I just got out my bright blue running tights. That's right, I have once again entered the world of exercise and fitness. It's been a good six month break, but it felt so good to get out there today. Since it is two weeks since Clara's birth, my midwife said I could start walking. Thank you sweet Jesus! I've felt so locked up in here. Anyway, so today Dave was home and I was able to "step" out for a while. Seeing that it is like, 8 degrees, I had to get prepared. Shorts and a t shirt just wouldn't do it in these conditions. I whipped out my running tights from high school and put them on. Seeing as they are skin tight and bright royal blue, I did feel like an Olympic speed skater at the starting line, though a lot less in shape and a loss less good looking in it, I'm sure. And don't worry, I didn't just wear the tights out as I fear that sight alone would have set people off the road. I put on sweats and bundled up, ready to face the elements.
Let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing to get back outside. It was lightly snowing and the ground was slushy. This slushy part is especially important to note because every time that a car came by, well, I got wet. I went about a mile and a half and I don't believe I've felt that good in a long time. So I am hoping for many more times like this to come.
Okay, well both kids are up from their naps now, so I can't go into all the extensive details that I felt about being outside and walking today. Just know it was beautiful and good for my soul. Amen!
