grandma's are great

This weekend my mother came for a visit. She is getting to see the changes in Champ as he grows. One of the reasons I think gradmothers are terrific is that they lend an extra set of hands. This morning she provided me with the privilige to go for a run. I think this is the first solo run I have had since Champ has arrived. Until now either Jeff, Champ or both have accompanied me. Well I took the freedom and pressed my endurance to the limit. I finished my run fairly quickly and it felt fantastic.

On a separate note, I don't know what all the hoopla is about the woman winning the NY marathon 9 months after giving birth. I ran and did hours on the stairmaster through my pregnancy. It is very do-able. I was also quite surprised how quickly I returned to my pre-pregnancy fitness. I am very proud to be a woman that is pushing stereotypes and accomplishing things people don't think are possible.
