I went jogging tonight for the first time since it snowed last November (around the same time I got pregnant...hence the no more jogging after the snow went away because by then I was like 4 months along or something). The baby was sleeping, we'd already had dinner (dinner has been a late affair for us the past few weeks because of Tirzah's sleep schedule but tonight worked out for us to have dinner at an actual dinner time), and it was finally cool because the sun had gone down. Sooo....my husband told me to go and he would take care of the baby if she woke up. I took a phone with me so that I would know if I needed to turn around early because we knew she'd be hungry when she woke up but luckily I was already on my way back when that happened. I jogged almost all the way to my destination (the administration building on campus) and then walked back. It is a nice jog because it is a bit hilly (well, quite a bit in some spots) so you really get a lot of excercise in a short amount of time. I ended up walking back because my stomach hurt a little, like maybe I was about to overdue it for having had a baby so recently. I figured, regardless of whether or not I feel like I have the energy to jog the rest I'd better listen to my insides so I don't do any damage.
It was really nice to get out and exercise. I've taken a few walks with Jacob and the baby but this is the first jog I've done since getting pregnant and it was a really great feeling. It's something that I've been wanting to do but haven't taken the time yet and today I "Just did it" :) Jacob and I have taken to calling various hours in the day or various tasks just do it time or just do it tasks. Anyway, it felt really good to jog. It's a feeling of accomplishment that is not the same as unpacking a box or cleaning the floors or something but accomplishment all the same. On the topic of cleaning, I cleaned the cutting board thing that I have last night as well as sweeping and mopping the kitchen floor. I also reorganized our pantry cupboard (it's just a tiny cupboard but I wanted my spices in there so I redid it to make it work). Slowly but surely I will get this house together :)
