Aw! Just back (hubby moved into new house for us while I was in hospital, no tinternet link-up yet), thanks for all your 3 pages of lovely messages :0) Don't worry, she's just about learning to keep us awake for long stretches of the night now so haven't missed out on the full mothering experience after all!- she's still doing fine, though I can't hike up the hill to the shops yet as fast as I could have done before going into hospital, but it'll take time.

That's got me thinking - now might be the perfect time (Ok, I don't mean NOW- I mean next month, or maybe 2 months or maybe 6 weeks away) to start training for a marathon (OK or maybe a 10K. Or maybe, actually, 3k to start). Always meant to try running, and I can't really take off hill-walking for a full day anymore..... has anyone done this? After pregnancy, I mean? Any thoughts? Any post-preg Mums want to do it too?

Photies available on facebook, message me and I'll make friends.

Congratulations on the arrival of Elspeth! I did a marathon pre-pregnancy so if you have any questions about training and managing your diabetes fire away! I'd love to do another post-pregnancy so you'll have to keep me posted on your progress 🙂

Fantastic, thanks. I 'can't run' at all (i'm a hard-core hillwalker but running seems to use different muscles, somehow, and previous attempts to 'go running' have left me in a crippled heap very quickly. Now I'm the most unfit and flabby I've ever been). How did you start?
