Ran with Peg and Heidi and had a fantastic run! Felt very good, did get one side stitch but was able to breath it out without having to walk. Weather was warmer this morning. Right heel was little sore from walking the past 2 nights- had a dr's appt and only a 1.2 weight gain for the month-yay!

What a great morning run, felt extremely good and got to run in shorts and a tee. A little windy but the breeze felt kinda nice. Now its really starting to blow and looka little nasty outside so glad I finished when I did. Starting to get funny looks from drivers and doing double takes!

Cold and WINDY today. First 5 miles were straight into the wind but then it died down and was perfect. Crazy how yesterday I ran in shorts and tee and felt warm and today I had all my winter gear back on! I dont have my avg pace, turned off at 6.3 miles and forgot to start again but good thing I know the mileage by heart on this course. Felt FANTASTIC today!!

Another great run today. Ran with Peg and Court. All of us were feeling a little sluggish when we met up but ended up having a really good run.

Ran 8.5 with them and then added on another 1.65 miles. Avg pace 8:32 for 8.5 and then about 8:50 for the rest. Now I get to go to the Gestational diabetes testing-not exciting about drinking a super sugary drink. Work so hard to avoid processed sugar and then I get to gulp a bunch down! It would be much better if they would just let me eat Mini Cadbury eggs instead-much rather waste my sugar intake on those!!!

Ran with all the girls and then had extra time this morning added on to my usual add on. Felt incredibly good! The first six miles were a little faster but felt very good then slowed down on the add on portion. Peg said her first six were 8:20's avg pace. My overall for the whole run was 8:44.

Nice and easy run with Peg and Court. Heard the wind ALL night long but it finally calmed down! Had a great run and only got a head wind for about a mile or so. Added on a little at the end. Felt GREAT!!!

What a great morning. Usually I end up on my own on fridays but lately I have friends that want to go! Today Kelli and TylerS joined me and a couple of my reg running buddies. It was so fun to have them. It was great getting to know them better and Tyler was so patient to just take it easy with us and Kelli is so FUN to talk to!I felt so incredibly good. I added on a little extra and really wanted to keep going but needed to get back. I know I say this alot but I am so GRATEFUL that I feel so good running!!!! I told my husband the same thing this morning when I got home and his response was "I am SO GRATEFUL you can still run, I think its more for MY sanity than yours" So apparently I get a little ornery when I dont run!! Now off for a fun day of getting my hair done and lunch with all my running friends.

Ran with the girls on our reg ten. Legs felt like bricks today, so heavy and tired. Probably those squats and lunges yesterday. Other than being a little more tired today I overall felt very good. I rubbed a HUGE blister on the bottam on my foot today though. My feet and the extra weight and the way I carry it must makes things different and shift. Crazy!

Great run., felt awesome! had a great group today. perfect temps. went to the dr today, everything still looking good. Read an article/study yesterday about pregnant women that exercized during and how it increased the fetal development of the baby. better heart and breathing rates. overall gives baby better cardio system.

Met Court early to run a few miles (she needed to go longer today) and then added on a 1.5 after. Felt really good today. Some of the girls took off and ran some really good paced miles and I wished so badly that I could do that with them. I definetly think not be able to do speedwork, long runs or race all out has made me really appreciate what I was able to do before. I was getting so burned out last year and starting to dread all of it but now I feel so refreshed and cant wait to really get back at it. I miss it so bad!

Ran an easy run with Nat, I was glad when she showed up and said her legs were really tired from boot camp, then I wouldnt feel as bad making her go slower for me when she is a speedy thing. Felt very good! No complaints-have had a awesome week of running. I think I am in the nesting phase because I have been cleaning out everything in my house and am so excited to get started on the rest of my list today. I love throwing stuff away and having clean and organized closets/shelves and drawers. Such a good feeling. DI has gotta love me right now!

Ran with the girls and felt great. Left hip got a little achy towards the end. Going to see April tonight to have her work on some knots in my back and will have her go over my hips as well. May take tomorrow off, feel like my hips have been shifting a little more and just want to be extra careful.
