Last week was a GREAT week for me. I felt
very active walking 4 days and running 2 days.
The weather here has been less than ideal with freezing fog and temps in
the 20’s but I have not let it totally stop me.
I feel like I am starting to get my
energy back but in limited increments. I
read the Exercise section of “What to Expect When Expecting” last night and I
wish I had it in front of me. Some of
the facts are pretty amazing, like the more active a mom is while pregnant
could have a direct correlation to how active her child will be. Very cool stuff!
Right now I am struggling with
comparing myself to others, but I know better!! I work full time, and have 2 kiddos… thankfully
I have an amazing partner who reminds me every day that I am doing great.
Run #1=
The trail is between my office and home.
Muscle Man picked up LS#1 at school and we met at the trailhead after
work for a run. The sun was out but it
was still pretty chilly, thankfully the boys had a blanket and their wind
cover. We both were pretty low energy
but we pushed on to finish with a solid 4 mile run.
Run #2=
Saturday at 10am we set out, the parking lot at the trail was EMPTY.
The freezing fog kept the fair-weather folks at home. We did not have a set distance in mind but
quickly realized that anything beyond 3 miles was not smart. We finished with a 5K and raced home to a
warm shower.

The comparing part sucks, I went on an unoffical 5K run with friends yesterday and ended with Round Ligiminat pain the rest of the day. It sucked. I hope it was a one time thing, as I really want to remain active. For me my craving right now is chocolate shakes - thankfully I can make a pretty good chocolate PB smoothie and that helps keep the calories low. I think I am 3 weeks behind you exactly as I will be 12 weeks on Thursday.
We all compare... I think it's human nature! You are doing awesome... great job getting those walks and runs in!
Congrats on the second trimester!!! YAY!
I make sure there's hot chocolate waiting for me when I get home! Sometimes, if I'm lucky, hubby is already home and has it ready for me. Other times he's at the gym, which I'm totally okay with as well ;-) CONGRATS on a great week! You're awesome!
I always struggled with comparison especially when it came to weight gain/size. Fact is Mel you look fabulous...you are doing fabulous...and you are staying healthy! Moving is moving! Congrats on the second trimester!!
