Here we go again~

Oh it's hard to recover from a wonderful weekend in St. George!! I planned to run with Heidi C this morning but when the alarm went off, I really didn't want to get up.  Never the less, I did, knowing I would regret it later if I didn't.  The forecast last night said 28 degrees this morning so I only wore a thin pair of pants, a short sleeved shirt and a long tech shirt over (with a beenie and gloves of course).  I walked outside and thought "ummm, I wonder if I dressed warm enough" but figured I would warm up quickly.................I was wrong!!!.  Heidi told me her thermostat registered 21 degrees so it's not like it was THAT COLD but I was FREEZING!!! I had to stop and walk a couple of times this morning,  It was one of those days.  Baby was laying low which wasn't easy on the sciatic or the bladder (sorry for the honesty) but if I walked for more then 20 seconds, I froze so it motivated me to keep running.  Poor Heidi, she is such a great friend!! She just goes along with me and is so nice to stop and walk with me!! I am lucky to have her.  Moral of the story is it was a rough run this morning, especially after such a wonderful run on Saturday!! Oh well, I will keep going.  I am almost 31 weeks now which is only how long I lasted running with Baby #3, so I feel grateful to still be running and running 5 miles at that.  I am sure I will continue to slow down but I will fight as long as I can:). Happy Monday!!!

I was supposed to get up and run with Heidi C this morning but was up all night with a sore throat amongst other things :) so I decided to sleep in a bit and go after work.  I should know by now that my energy levels deplete as the day goes so I started with low energy, forgot gloves so my hands were Frrrreeezing, and I basically felt like I needed to go to the bathroom the whole time (yah, that was a lot of information).  It was a miserable run and now as I post (4 hours later) I am still feeling the after pains so it really wasn't worth it.  Oh well, glad I got 3 miles in even if I have to run on the TM from here on out.  Looking forward to some strength training with Heidi in the morning:).  

Quick little strength training session downstairs with Heidi C and Erin (Instructor on DVD).  It was nice to get something in knowing that my running will be very limited from here on out in the pregnancy.  I was all up all night contracting after my "run" and still having pains this morning.  We'll see if it was just a random thing or if it continues~

First and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Tyler tomorrow!!! I just had to get that on here in the event that I don't blog tomorrow:)!!! Weird that he is turning 34 and I have known him for almost 20 years!! What a great 20 years it has been:). Happy Birthday hun~

Woke up this morning and decided to attempt the treadmill knowing I didn't dare go outside (don't want to get too far from home and have an experience like the other night).  I had no idea what my plan was so I decided I would start with a brisk walk at an incline.  After only .5 miles, I was kind of bored and decided I wanted to run the next .5 getting me to the first mile mark.  I got to that point and felt pretty good, sooooo, that's what I continued to do! I walked again .5 at an incline (4.1-4.3 pace) then took it up to 6.7 for .5, back down, etc until I reached 3 miles.  It ended up taking about 35 minutes and then I had to get going for the day.  Overall, I felt good and liked the plan to walk and run getting some miles in.  I think I will do it again tomorrow trying to get at least 5 miles in.   Just trying to do what I can for now.  Only 8 1/2 weeks to go, but who's counting right?? :)

Happy Birthday to my hubby!!! 

Tyler woke up, got ready and headed over the Hale Center Theater's 10K so I decided to venture a joyous 5 miles on the TM this morning!! I kept with the .5 mile walk  .5 mile run theme which seems to be working!!! A bit frustrating that it took me one hour exactly to run 5 miles, but glad that I could get a little something in!! No after pains, so that's a good thing:).
