Nice! Fastest and longest stroller jog yet! Felt good and it was gorgeous out- partly sunny, low 50s. Another mom with an older baby, perhaps even toddler in a stroller said 'We're the two hardest working out here on the trail." Quite possibly true, she was going at a good clip too.

And - Sylvia stayed awake for almost the whole run!! This is great because it means Tom and I can get work done when she naps later on during the day.

Ski-o at Teacup Lake! Sylvia and I didn't compete (no easy way to wear a baby on your front plus a ski-o holder), but we did set out 4 controls.

Then went out and skied the big green loop with Sylvia. Is definitely more work skiing with her. But totally fun. She was asleep from the end of control setting out.

Yay! Made it to a lunchrun! Ran with the Bob over to the meet-up spot by the Reed gym and then ran with Ueli, Todd and Sebastian who kindly agreed to do a loop that basically went by our house, so I could peel off there.

Ueli also took the stroller for a few miles including the big uphill back home, so that was nice to get some sans-stroller jogging in.

Morning joggeroo with the babe. Out toward Sellwood on the Springwater trail.

And Sylvia started scooting backwards. Eep! That means she doesn't necessarily stay where we put her. But motion is still slow at least...

Big day. 1st day of classes, so first real-real being back to work post baby. And my very first time lecturing in the huge lecture hall to 120 intro physics students. Holy moly.

Reports are that I was loud enough and mostly wrote clearly enough so we'll take that as a win for Day 1. Board organization could have been better, but I had to write much bigger than usual for the big hall, so didn't have the plan quite right going in.

Reward was getting to go to Pilates sans-baby afterwards. There is still a whole lot of strength to get back, but it feels like now it's actually probably productive to do the exercises!
