This week I am trying to get back on my horse of athletic fitness.  I have come to realize however that the horse I used to ride on will no longer work.

Perhaps I need a fatter, slower horse.  Maybe one with stretch marks itself would make me feel more confident.  I think a distracted horse would be best.

Lately I have been feeling that what I am putting into my body has never been better.  I cook an organic meal most nights due to the pressure of wanting to feed Axel the best.  I endure an arm work out about 80% of the day...thank you Moby Wrap (infant carrier).  I also feel like I am being intellectually stimulated, thanks to sewing and trying to figure out the little boy mind.  One piece is missing.  Cardiovascular, raw sweat and tears.

Having never been a great runner, always an average one, I did rather like it and ran until I was 6 months pregnant.  Yup, that was over a year ago.  I have started running a few times since, but I never felt ready for myself.

As I search for MY new horse, perhaps some of you are in search of one too.  I am open to trading, as a new horse can be hard to break...but well worth the effort.

The bitter cold has finally broken in Minnesota and we are all thankful to be back in the stroller/dog walking routine.

Hope the January blues aren't getting to any of you...this is the time of year that just seems to drag on.  Try to enjoy yourselves and if you have a horse you need to get back on...I'm right with ya.
