This morning was my first 'run' since the Shamrock half, which was two days after we found out we were pregnant. I was a little weary about running. I am still at the gym 3-4 days a week and I do still run with my girls on Monday and Thursday afternoons but nothing more than 2 miles outside. I know that if I do not make an attempt to keep up my regular fitness level I'm going to lose it all and not be able to work out like I would like to. So I went for it. My running partner, DD, still doesn't know that I'm growing a tiny human but he's really good about me running however I want. Lucky for me, he is trying to work off an injury and suggested doing a slower, steady 6 miles (ended up being 6.2). Perfect! And still, I felt normal. I think I need another ultrasound because I'm going back to thinking that there's nothing in there. Other than the fact that I have a muffin top in some of the pants I wear, which happens when I put on a few pounds anyway, I still don't feel like I'm pregnant (not complaining, just saying).

Being able to trot out a 10k got me thinking, as usual. Maybe if I can keep up my level of fitness and if I get myself one of those belly things for runners, I could jog/walk the Virginia Beach Rock 'n' Roll Half-marathon Labor Day weekend. I will be just about 29 weeks at that time. I'm thinking yes. On Thursday when I go back to the doctor I'm going to see what she says. She better say yes too :)
HAHAH... DD did make a comment an interesting comment that day. He said you both were going at a slower pace. Yet, you seemed to be working harder than usual. That you even seemed a little winded. This explains it!
ReplyDeletePlease excuse the typos in my comment. I think faster than I type ;)
ReplyDeleteYes. That is why I was slower and more winded than usual. I just have to get used to it :)
