30 min on the elipitcal and then I know I am going to get alot of flak for this but my body FEELS ready, ran four 8 min miles at 2% incline on TM and felt great, felt so  so so easy!  I guess it helps when you dont have a baby pressing on all your internal organs.  I know people will say it to soon to run but I will listen to my body and what feels right for me.

Great Job Marcie, I agree, just listen to your own body and who cares what others say/think! You are coming back so strong, you never really left though that's the funny thing :) I am a little jealous though of you almost being back to your pre-pregnancy weight, I still have a few pounds lingering and Jace is almost ONE! AHH,, , so really, you are making us look bad, would you stop? j/k You are so dang cute and I'm happy for ya!

BTW, I hope this stupid cleanse doesn't screw up my metabolism, we will see, just started it again (DNF on the weekend) and am only going 3 days. I don't want to miss too much running. Did you feel better after you did your cleanse last spring? How do you think it messed up your metabolism? It isn't easy that's for sure!

Congratulations Marcie! Holy moly, you are light years from where I am even though we were due at the same time. I feel like I will be pregnant forever. How's that new baby doing?

I was a little shocked at the 4 to 9 mile running jump, but since you have run three days without issue, you are probably in the clear. Continue to listen to that bod. Are you signed up for St G? I bet you won't have any issues ramping up for the race.

Amber,

I just felt like once I started eating reg food again that my body just held onto it. It seems like my weight fluctuated alot for a month or two.

Lybi,

My little guy is doing pretty good! The only thing is trying to control his bili levels, they drop and then shoot up again. Its been frustrating and scary because he was preemie and they say continued elevated bili levels can affect a preemies brain. So the dr is watching it really closely. I cant wait to see pic's of your little girl when she comes!

Michelle-

The reason for the jump is because 4 miles on TM feels like 9-10 outside. plus I had to get home to the babe. (did the eliptical before hand) Dont worry I will really listen to my body! And will back off if anything feels out the norm. I am going to do 1-2 days of cross training from here on out. Yes I am signed up for SG, probably wont be super fast but anything is better than last year:)
