I don't know if it's this brutal winter, my crazy work schedule, or just new(ish) mom adjustments but I have been feeling a bit disconnected from myself lately. It hit me one day that I spend almost all of my time either in front of a computer, entertaining my little guy (focused on him), working out with my I-Pod on, or even watching tv (undoubtedly catching up on emails or ordering groceries/ diapers etc.) I literally have had no time alone with my thoughts to just be.
So, I made the conscious decision to stop listening to my IPod when I run outdoors and to spend 10+ minutes focusing on my breathing (beginners meditation:-) whenever I nurse Declan. As far back as I can remember I have been a constant multi-tasker (just ask my college roomates!) so for me this represents a big change. We will see how it goes.
Thurs. 2.10
20:00 run W/U then 5x3 90# back squats
55:00 trainer ride (2x15 at 85%)- felt great, these sessions are feeling MUCH easier.
It's a good thing I was home alone for this one because I was watching "one born every 10 seconds" and getting very emotional:-) Would have been quite a site - me dripping with sweat, going all out for a 15 minute interval and tearing up as babies are born! it ever surprised me since I not overly sentimental about most things and didn't particularly love the newborn stage.
