So I have been MIA for a few months (still running and entering my mileage on private view). For those of you who dont know I am 16 weeks pregnant!  Now that I am feeling better and actually feel like sitting at a computer to enter more than my mileage I am going to start blogging again.

Went to go meet my friend but it was raining so she slept in. I ran back to my house because I didnt feel like running loops to stay close to home in the dark and rain. Went to the gym and did 45 min on elipitical and then thought I would just walk hard on the treadmill at a steep incline to break it up. Walked for 5 min and decided I rather be running and right now I need to take advantage of every minute that I can be running comfortably:) So went home changed my clothes and headed out in light rain. Thought my legs would be tired from the elipitcal but felt great, amazing how good I am still feeling while running. I miss doing hard runs but if I can just maintain a solid base through the rest of this pregnancy I would be so happy.  Ran one of my 6 mile loops. Could have kept going and really wanted to but I need to be careful with not overdoing it since I had already gone to the gym.

Met my friend  for an 8.5 mi run (avg 8:39), the fog was crazy this morning and it was so warm from the cloud coverage. I could have easily been in shorts and t-shirt and still would have been warm. Felt great on the run til the last mile and then my left hip kinda locked up and shot a pain down to my knee, made it back and was planning on adding on but I could bearly do a slow jog. It just felt like it needed to pop so bad. So I went to the gym to do the elipitical to loosen it up, which really helped. So did that for 30 min. I am sure this is stemming from my body adjusting to accomodate this growing person inside me! This is the first time since I got pregnant that something bothered me. When you run easy everyday all those little aches and pains go away.

weights too.
