Excuses, Excuses, Excuses....definetly dont feel as guilty making them when I am pregnant! So all you women you have been prego will understand why I didnt want to get up this morning to run. Finding a comfortable position to sleep is the not easiest task to do, I have found this to be one of the most challenging things about being pregnant. My hips start to ache, my arm falls asleep then the other arm falls asleep, my shoulders hurt and my baby thinks its fun to play all night long and dont forget that small bladder either.So this was my night last night along with everyother night. About 4 am woke up for the who knows what time and didnt feel exhausted and thought I am for sure getting up to run because this is just not working (sleep) but then about 10 min before my alarm was supposed to go off I rolled over and fell into the MOST COMFORTABLE position, nothing ached and I felt like I was in heaven. There was no way I was moving out of that spot even if it meant I missed my run!!! So there you go, I think that is pretty dang good reason to stay in bed! But dont think I was completely lazy. I had errands to run after work and got home a little later, was starving and knew I needed to eat , if I ate there was no way I could handle a run and a snack was not going to tide me over. I ate dinner and then went for a 6 mile brisk, power walk. Took 1:30 min.  My legs did feel like they got a pretty good workout from it. Dont know where to really put these miles . But at least I did do something.  Plan on doing my weights while I watch dancing with stars.
