Training for Delivery

After my last post, I took the time to search through my past archives from last running season.  All the memories motivated me and I found myself getting bundled up for a brisk walk around the lake with Wenzyl.  During my walk, I decided that just because I'm not training for a "running" marathon, doesn't mean I can't train?  I am after all going to be taking part in the biggest miracle/marathon a women can endure; giving birth.  I think I'm going to view this as my "delivery marathon".    I realized that I am craving the training, I want to be able to log in miles, to have stories to blog about, to be able to see each blade of grass grow as spring approaches, to have time to think and to spend time with Wenzyl.  Why can't I do this?  Oh wait, I can!  So, this is going to be my official "delivery training" . My due date is May 24th, I have about 3 months to "get in shape".  Up until now, I've been pretty active, although I will admit when I work an 8 hour shift on the hospital floor I feel exhausted when I get home, and the last thing I feel like doing is hitting the pavement for a walk.  This is just the motivation I need.  Up until now I've been keeping myself busy with walking, hiking, and working... now it's time to pick up the pace a bit.  To have more of a schedule.  I know this will not only allow me to keep my sanity intact for the rest of winter, but may also assist with an easier delivery. Bring it on!
