Hi Kathy,

In order to better help you, it's be helpful to know more about your running/exercise background. For example, how many years have you been running? Before getting pregnant, how often did you run and what distances? Did you do any running or regular exercise while pregnant?

Every woman is different when it comes to exercising after a pregnancy. If you’re nursing, carrying a lot of extra weight from your pregnancy or noticing continued laxity in your joints, you may likely need to go slower (pace and mileage buildup), pay extra attention to your posture, and take additional steps to lessen the impact of running on your body. A number of good running books and websites have been mentioned below in another thread called “Interested in Training”. In addition, http://www.runnersworld.com/home/0,1300,4-114,00.html has links to a couple articles on postpartum running.
