The Perfect Run

Since becoming a new mom I’ve found my time seems to escape me, or in other terms my time is just very much not my own anymore. I’m constantly focusing on everything that needs to be done, and the manner, time and circumstances it has to be done in for

Runners Recovery : Cryo Recovery

As Runners we rarely accept anything that comes in the way of our training. We all know the famous fraise that runners always seem to utter the moment they’re told of an injury.

‘So Doc, When can I run again?’

There are numerous ways of running recovery ranging from personal methods through

Crazies!😜🤪 . Tonight my husband and I just h Crazies!😜🤪
.
Tonight my husband and I just hopelessly laughed at the dinner table at how things were just going wrong🤭😅🙄 I think we laughed to keep us from crying 😂 I think we both felt a bit exhausted at the end of today and we just didn’t have the energy to deal 🤦🏽‍♀️
.
Paul is at a point were he is CONSTANTLY talking 😵😵obviously my child because he just doesn’t know when to shut up🤭😂🤦🏽‍♀️he just continues, weather you are listening or not😶😶he has also started tapping me on the arm or on the leg now and then he says “Mamma!! Luister jy?!, Mamma Luister, mamma!!” 😐😶😂 and I block him out so well that hé gets sooooooo upset when he realizes I’m not listening 🤭
.
So you have two tired adults, and a kid at the dinner table that won’t keep quiet, along with Lily who grabs anything and EVERYTHING!😮😬🤦🏽‍♀️ everything has to be at least 50cm away or she wil go for it! And she is so fast😶😜😣she also refuses to sit stil in her high chair, so much that she climbed over onto the dinner table , grabbed the open jar of mayonnaise 😮🤭luckily I grabbed her and my husband the Mayo so there wasn’t to much of a mess, she then had her dinner sitting on the table, she threw the boiled egg on the floor and at me , stole my avocado samie only to spit it out again, as she tried to grab my mug, I tried to stop her , only to bump over a whole glass of water 🤦🏽‍♀️😂😂😜so then we just laughed 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️😂😅😅
.
These kids are crazy but I can’t imagine what else my husband and would have been doing tonight if they weren’t here😂❤️😍🤷🏻‍♀️

Threshold Run ⭐️⭐️ this mornings run was n Threshold Run ⭐️⭐️ this mornings run was nothing short of fun! 🤩🥳 
.
Again I was not sure if I should go or not... Being a woman has a few annoying let downs and during certain times of your cycle your body reacts differently and going for a run might not be as beneficial as you might think.🤷🏻‍♀️😕
.
So I almost did not go... or I was thinking about that...🤷🏻‍♀️😅 and I’m so glad I went anyway, cramps and all😂 it was such a great run! And I felt like I wanted to fly!🥳🤩 but coach kept pulling me back😂 which is probably good if I’m gonna run 18km Saturday 😬😬😬😮 a bit nervous, these hips of mine are not what they were pre baby...
.
Join me at 1pm today for a coffee date with @carlawestfitness on Instagram IGTV about everything Mommy running and running and breastfeeding, or just breastfeeding or just running 😂 ☕️ 🌸🌸 it’s gonna be fun! 🤩

I Did it!🤩🤩🤩 . Small victories! 🤩I did I Did it!🤩🤩🤩
.
Small victories! 🤩I did it! I actually got my ass out the house for a solo run😋😋😅it was quite a argument with myself I have to add, after dropping the kids at school and getting back to a oh so silent house it is so tempting to just sit down and have a peaceful cup of coffee...😋☺️ the cup of laziness I call it! 😒😒😬🤦🏽‍♀️ the cup of coffee that delay’s my entire day, makes me feel tired and prevents me from having a amazing day, haha, the lie! That makes me think that if I just sit down for 15min, I’ll be recharged...🙄😒😒uuuuummmmmm WRONG!! 
.
The run was amazing, I’ve been doing group runs for a while now, and forgotten how much I love music on my runs!🤩🥰🥰 so we had a little dance party on my run today, Mr @pitbull and I 😍 such a sucker for his music on a run🥳🤩🥰
.
Now I feel like I’m on top of the world! Breakfast, shower , nappies and then work😋😋⭐️

Hiiiillllllssss ⛰ . So firstly, I’m surprised Hiiiillllllssss ⛰ 
.
So firstly, I’m surprised by how I manage to get up and go for a run this morning and it was probably only because I knew that @virgullesteenkamp  was waiting for me😂😂 and that’s perfect! That is just the accountability I meed at this point of my life 😂🥴
.
Lily had a rough night, and I’m not even mad or annoyed, I feel so sorry for her🙁😰 het teething at this point is super intense and I’m also confused weather she had flue symptoms because of flue or because of the teething, anyway, she has such fever spells, her voice sounds funny, and you can see the cuddle baby as she is, those cuddles have just increased 🥰 not complaining, but shame man, the poor thing!😞
.
For the first time in weeks I feel myself, And thats weir because my dishwasher is broken, 😂and I’m still coping 🤣 I basically had a pajama day yesterday, looking after the kids and just doing nothing, and my husband comes up to me and says “I like your hair!”😋😋 and I was like huh? I look terrible, dirty shirt, no Makeup, hair super messy, but yes newly dyed at home with some stuff I from from someone, not even blow waved or anything 😂😜
.
But I suspect it doesn’t really have anything to do with my hair... maybe its just an outward symbol of me feeling better, and he can see that? 🌸 I dunno, 😅🤷🏻‍♀️
.
Ready to get lots of stuff done this week - please let it just not rain...🙏🏻😒coz that might throw me 😂

MotherHOOD😎 . Saturdays run was fun, the last 5 MotherHOOD😎
.
Saturdays run was fun, the last 5km was tough I have to say,😅my hips and pelvic floor just isn’t the same after giving birth, and I know I have to keep doing exercises, I know, but flippen hell man!!😩😂that shit hurts...😒😕
.
But the run was made much more tolerable for me because of the conversations I had, and it honestly felt like I needed it. ⭐️ the last 7km back was a proper vent and chat session with another Mom that is not the same age as me, we don’t have the same occupation, we didn’t study the same stuff, our lives were pretty much different... but it also wasn’t 😕
.
I’ve been talking to allot of other Moms and some are close friends and other are Mom’s I’ve gotten close with over Instagram and haven’t met them at all before! And the discussions are the same, the things we go through are the same, 🥴😅motherhood is hard and we’re all going through it, in different ways, but also pretty much the same same 😕🌸 allot of the times I find myself feeling hopeless, like this is an endless cycle of shit shows😅😒followed by amazing heart bursting moments 💗💗 & then crazy crap again 😂🙄 & in these moments we can get caught up in feelings and emotions, 
.
☺️but remember it gets better again - I see you there mama, trying your best. I see you showing up each day, even though you feel exhausted. I see you making tough choices for your family even when your not sure if they are right. I see you working tirelessly, even when it seems never ending. I see you doing an amazing job, even though you doubt yourself. I see you mama, and you are more than enough.💗 and if you see another Mommy struggling, go ahead and remind her of this too!😉⭐️
.
Whenever you’re feeling hopeless, hug your child. It’s amazing how they remind us our life is always full of Love! 💗

Symphony of Cries 🙄 . I feel a little shell sho Symphony of Cries 🙄
.
I feel a little shell shocked to be honest 😐😂🤦🏽‍♀️ my afternoon did not go as planned 🤦🏽‍♀️ 
.
The plan was- take kids for a run to waste time, make dinner, eat, bath, bed...🤩 easy peasy!
.
But then out of nowhere there was Thunder and lightning...so no run🙄🙄 so my afternoon went - no run, get fussy kids in house, out of rain, get AALLLLL the washing off the line while kids cry and moan...🤭 then proceed to try and make dinner - from there on both kids were super fussy 🙄 no flippen idea why, then I had the smart Idea to bribe them to stop crying by giving each a piece of chocolate, 🤦🏽‍♀️Lily freaked out , practically screaming coz she wanted more ...🤦🏽‍♀️ then we had dinner and everyone calmed down, then we played Legos and Lily broke Paul’s house, Paul grabbed the legos from Lily🤦🏽‍♀️, big tantrum. So we went to have a bath eventually everyone calmed down again, 🙏🏻 I managed to heat up my coffee, and then Paul proceeded to spit Lily in the face with water, again, and again... and again 🙄 then more tears..🤦🏽‍♀️
.
I dress Lily, give het a book and fetch Paul, I dress Paul and have a huge fight with him, coz he doesn’t want to sleep in a disposable diaper hé wants his ‘Dudu-Doek’ (a cloth nappy) 😐🤦🏽‍♀️ I try and explain that everything got wet in the rain and is not dry yet.😐do you think he cares?!😔😔😣 eventually he just forgot about it.
.
Then I pick up Lily for story time, and then as I bend down with her in my arms, Paul jumps up on the bed and they bang heads - Like hard🤭🤭🤭😱😱 like I was concerned hard🤭😐 how do you comfort two hysterically screaming kids 😵😵😵
.
Finally everyone is ok again, Story time done, I sit down to breastfeed Lily and ask Paul to lean over and put of the lamp - and then after Lily latches Paul slips off the bed and falls in the dark on the floor and again bangs his head 😲😮😶😶Lily detaches from the boob and also starts crying hysterically 😐😐 WTF...
.
Enter Husband  back from his business trip 🙏🏻 Thank goodness 🙄🙏🏻💗
.
Everyone is fine now⭐️ and my coffee is cold again...

First proper Trail run in months, and it was great First proper Trail run in months, and it was great 😜🥳🤩 joining up with a group has been the best so far , #runningworxclub 🤩 I felt like myself again this morning and our morning family routine was also great 😌 I ran with one of the stronger guys in the group and it was nice to have a motivation to keep moving, not to rest to much💪🏻⭐️ I’m very happy, and excited to start next week’s training 🥳🥳🥳
.
Although the kids basically destroyed the house while I was gone...🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ not sure if they woke up before my husband and decided to just do their own thing or what, but there are toys everywhere, especially looks like Paul probably woke Lily and threw all the toys and dolls into her crib🙈🙈😂 but everyone was alive when I got home, clean nappies and all💪🏻😅 
.
Rest of our day has just been peaceful time at home, playing with the kids, swimming and painting, and now, everyone is gonna nap... so I can take a shower and prep lunch, flippen starving after this mornings run😅🥳 which I’m also greatfull for , because when I don’t run, I don’t always eat, and food like running makes me happy, 😂
