Nearly!
For the past year and a half, I've used law school as my "I'm too busy to do XYZ" excuse but BOY can I top that one:
I've been doing everything in my power to destroy my usually orderly bathroom? No, actually...
For the past six months, I've been growing a HUMAN. Hubs and I are expecting our first tiny slow-runner at the end of June.
Yes, we are excited! Yes, we planned this! And no, we don't know what we're having and we won't until we meet the critter!
Pregnancy is no excuse to stop exercising. Crippling morning sickness, however, is a different story.
But now I'm in my second trimester, feeling great and running 5 days a week again.
Don't call it a comeback!
Of course, pregnant running is extra, extra slow for me. And I can hardly do more than 3 miles. And there are lots of SUPER FUN pregnancy side effects that come into play (you'll never guess what happens every time I sneeze...unless you're a mom or mom-to-be...in which case WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN ME?).
But considering I didn't run more than 4 total miles for 12 weeks, I am pretty excited to be hitting the pavement again...even if I am forced to wear Hubs' work-out tees because mine don't fit no mo'.
It is my intention to a) run until I pop (or am advised otherwise); b) keep updating this blog; and c) not allow this blog to become a "mommy-blog" by keeping it running-centric.
What hurts today?
My knees. But only in the middle of the night. My doc told me not to worry-- pregnancy loosens your ligaments and "the extra weight doesn't help" (she tells me delicately).
you have something growing in your stomach!
ReplyDeleteI think I need looser ligaments.
ah yes, ill have me a baby.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Are you running barefoot? How is law school, are you near finished ?
Thank you! I am still barefoot (and pregnant...and still in KY...I've hit the redneck trifecta). Almost done with my 2nd year of law school...one more to go!
