three miles

It has been a long time coming, but today I ran three miles. If someone had told me back in the summer of 2007 when I first got pregnant with Isabel that it would be nearly a year after her birth before I was running pretty normally again, I would have been very skeptical. But factor in the schedules and illnesses of three little kids (whose needs always come before mama's), a broken leg and pneumonia, and the timing doesn't seem as unlikely.
I am thrilled. I am finally starting to feel, and look, like myself again. Yippieeee!!
