Elliptical.

Full PT workout. This was my first workout post-baby. The last few days have been a whirlwind. We have been extremely lucky to have Alli's mom and stepdad with us to support us through the birth and the beginning of Inara's life. Their support has been extremely critical to us maintaining our sanity and getting a few hours of sleep each night.

It turns out that, as a dad, you feel somewhat useless the first few days. When Inara cries in the middle of the night, there is very limited use to me getting up to comfort her if she is hungry. On the other hand, I am able to provide relief to Alli post-feeding by simply holding the baby for a while. Those hours, so far mostly in the early morning, of sitting with Inara sleeping peacefully in my arms and Barnacle snoring away at my feet, have been simply unforgettable.

I went running again! Same run as last time, went by just a little bit faster this time. Right groin very tight at the end, but not terribly painful.

Elliptical, gradually raising the resistance while keeping the cadence at 180. I think this got my HR up higher than my usual elliptical sessions. Good stuff.
