Ran my eight mile route, avg pace 8:19 and then went to the gym and did the elipitical for 30 min at 10 resistance. Only time running feels hard is on the hills, defintely losing it there, maybe need to take them slower to keep my heart rate down.

12 wks and 4 days.

Painters 1/2 1:41:58. 15 weeks prego! felt great the whole time, just ran easy and enjoyed the run. Dustin saw me after his 5k and ran the last 6 with me which was great. He updated me on all of the running club, made the last miles go by super quick. loved having no pressure or expectations for the race. A well needed break!!

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.

Met up with my friend for an 8.5 mile loop. The first two miles are uphill and hills are my enemy lately. We were both kinda of draggin the first half of the run (did weights and squats/lunges last night, so my legs were tired) then felt good from then on. Felt good after and had a few min so added on another 1.5 miles so I would not feel bad about eating Cafe Rio and birthday cake tonight! avg pace 8:48

Plan orginally was to do 8 or 9 and then go do the elipitical for 30 min at the gym. Ran 9 and then drove to the gym with exactly 35 min to spare before I needed to be home, well no elipitcal was available so I drove home and changed into new running clothes and out the door I went for another couple miles. avg pace 8:23.
