I wondered how soon other runners started back running after having a baby (Hannah is just over 10 weeks old at the moment). Turns out there are loads of running mummys out there just desperate to get their trainers back on. It certainly seems like there isn't a right or a wrong answer, just start back when you feel like it!
So, once I realised I could run whenever I felt like it, I decided to go for a run instead of just thinking about it. This was made easier by the fact that I have been spending the week in Preston with my parents so I had some day time babysitters just ready to be deployed. Yesterday, I fed Hannah, left her with Grandma and went for a run for the first time since the end of July and it was great, I loved it! I ran/walked for about 40 minutes and even dodged the rain (which in Preston is quite an achievement!)
Today I have sore legs and bending down to pick Hannah up or put something into the pram and crouching on the floor to do nappy changes was...er...interesting...I've got a long way to go.
Hopefully before long, I won't need a babysitter to go running, I'll be able to take Hannah with me in her pram:
