We usually go with his nap in the morning and he conks out after about 15 minutes. It's amazing.
The first few times, I thought I'd die. But, for the past week or so, I can feel my endurance building and its fabulous.
I've been trying a couple different routes and I've got a few that are great. Sometimes, I jog up close to BYU and come back. Sometimes, I head towards the mountain. I wanted more than one, so I don't get bored. It also helps going in the morning because I listen to my morning radio show and they make me laugh.
The only thing that's annoying is that I rarely get ready. I used to spend his first nap showering, makeup, getting dressed, etc.
Now, it's a super fast shower afterwards and maybe a little makeup in the car. And my hair is wet or in a ponytail 90% of the time. Oh well, it's worth it.
--I've also become the sunscreen nazi. Well, I'm not great about sunscreen on myself. My moisturizer and foundation has SPF 15, but I should put some better stuff on before we run.
A few days ago, I could tell Jackson was getting a farmers tan and it totally broke my heart. His forehead and nose were darker too. Granted, I know he'll get tan over the summer because we're always outside annnnd he'll be gorgeous with little tan skin, dark eyes, & light hair but it still makes me sad that he won't have perfect, untouched, baby skin.
So now, I've got sunscreen in the car & in my purse. He hates the lotion stuff but he can handle the spray stuff pretty well.
--I've also been trying to eat a little cleaner. My favorite healthy things are oven-roasted asparagus (mmmm, sure my pee smells funny, but its soo good), spinach smoothies (Jackson looooves them too, so it's a good way to get him to eat vegetables), & egg whites only english muffins (These ones aren't super tasty, but it makes me feel good about my breakfast choice).
I'm not counting calories, just trying to get better habits.

Good job on your jogging and eating habbits!! That is hard to do! I also think that you look beautiful with little to no make up and your hair in a pony tail!
This post inspires me to get moving. We've been doing some long walks this week and it feels good. I am only up to being able to run 1/2 a mile, but if you have worked up to 4 miles, I'm determined to do it too!
