CROC training @ Laurelhurst Park by Dan G.

Training goal was memory-o, so to look once and then execute a leg without looking again. Did that pretty well, although sometimes was a wimp and went for memory-safer routes.

Another very chill joggeroo, Milwaukee and Errol heights park.

Very, very easy jog. But in the dark! Glad the time change is coming soon...

Core rehab.

Lots of baby hiking - to new parents group then in to work for two meetings.

Sylvia was good for the first 50 minutes of an hour meeting, than I excused us to feed her quickly before the next meeting. She was mostly ok during the thesis meeting with my student, but was a bit fussy because then needed a diaper change. At least got through both, but underlines the fact we need some sort of childcare in the spring, having Sylvia in my office while I try to work isn't going to be a recipe that gets much work done!

Nope, that was too much too soon. I was super tired by the end of it and then pelvic muscles were sore the rest of the day, which makes just about everything less fun.

So - next run will be shorter and slower. Frustrating, but ok, it's nice just to be running and time will help!

Afterwards, Mt. Tabor walk with Shana's group. Yet another gorgeous fall day, we are being so spoiled, but I'm sure the rain will come soon...

Mama-Baby yoga. Tried at one point to do some standing poses while feeding Sylvia, which was mostly successful. Pretty full class with 23 or so Mama + Baby pairs, more of the women that were in my prenatal class are now showing up at 6-8 weeks. Fun to catch up with them and meet their babies!

Pilates! Decided I could give it a try. This is a lunchtime Pilates class at work that Reed brings in an instructor for. I did it up to 37th week of pregnancy, adjusting lots of the exercises and I've been eager to go back but didn't want to rush it.

Brought Sylvia, everyone was very happy to meet her and didn't seem to mind the baby noises or me feeding her.

The standing work was totally ok, felt good. The ab exercises on the floor I have to adjust since many are too much yet for me to do. But it's nicer to have the company for doing the exercises, so think I'll keep coming back.

Sylvia slept or otherwise kept content for the first 30 min, then was fussy-ish, so I fed her while everyone was doing a killer leg lift set. Then she was still being fussy, so Barbara took her and I did the final few exercises.
