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.

Ran with all the girls and then added on a little extra to make 8. So glad a couple of the girls were still sore and tired from their saturdays run so we were able to just take it really easy today. Good for me...another day I can keep up with them. I am hoping to be able to keep up with them at least til 30 weeks.

avg pace 8:54

power walked after work 4.3 out to my in-laws. wow that works some different muscles!

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!

avg pace 8:41

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!!
