Fast Running Mommy

Pretty good run...no prego legs..no contractions..they rain didn't soak me completely. I saw Sasha...and he gave me a kiss..that's always fun.  Saw lots of people on the trail today..everyone was very friendly. I wonder if they can tell I'm pregnant...I think my coat just looks bulky right now but it's hard to tell from the view I have. 

My adorable little boys keep saying, "Mommy, you look so fat!" Guess that means the baby is growing and healthy. They also say they can't remember when a few months ago I was much smaller....hee hee...gotta love them!!

Mary is sick..had to run alone...got lazy and had a hard time keeping up the pace by myself. 

good run today..felt strong and solid..round ligament pains slowed me down a bit but not too bad

I felt so exhausted the first half of the run..then I perked up and was able to go 2 more..decided to cut it a bit short after feeling so fatigued at first but I feel great now..crazy body!!

not too bad..all by myself..felt good on and off..starting to get bigger and slower at 25 weeks...oh yea!!!!

I'm really proud of myself for figuring out how to get more miles in today. I REALLY wanted to stop and eat breakfast and call it a day after running the first half. Then I used my noggin a little and decided that if I just went a little bit slower maybe I'd still be able to get the miles in. Well...it worked and I actually felt good at the end of the run. I feel dumb running now though because I have to stop a lot for ligament pains and contractions or just tired legs...well see if I can keep up with my parnter Mary and my baby Jenny next week. 

I kept up a good pace today..a little Sabbath rest helps. We got to drive up and see my mom yesterday. It was kind of a spontaneous trip so that was fun. 

I'm pre-blogging today. I hope that this is true. I felt great on my run yesterday. I've just been so tired during the day lately...not sure if I want that anymore. Sasha, my midwife and my common sense all tell me to not fight it and just to rest....but...I hate resting and like being busy, awake and feeling good.  

really good run again today. Yay..I like it when I feel good. My sister had her sixth child last night. Emmaline Adell Pitts. 

Still chugging along. getting bigger as I approach my third trimester. At church EVERYONE asked how I was doing.....guess I look like I need sympathy.  

felt really good today..Mary came ..which is always a good incentive for me to not be lazy and go a decent pace. I think we avg 10:30 pace..kind of can't believe I can still go that pace. 

tired on the run..stopped alot. Felt good during the day though, weeded in the garden, oversaw the kids lessons, picked up my friends kids and baby sat them all afternoon, made homemade pizza for dinner and went to Activity Days with the 8-11 year old girls at church. In between all that I also organized the effort to move things around in the bedrooms. We are moving the guest room/nursery into the boys room, the boys into the girls room and the girls in with William. Some neighbors came by and helped Sasha set up bunkbeds. They were here for three hours!!  

heroic effort..Joseph had nightmares all night and woke me up like 5 times...so tired

still tired from bad night ...I'm 27 weeks today...can you believe it? still going fairly strong :)

The first two miles felt great...effortless and I was going a pretty good pace. Then..bonk..I died on the last two.  So far I haven't had to use my pregnancy belt to support my tummy. I can't remember when I started using it with William but seems like it was pretty early..like 20 weeks..and then I was addicted and couldn't run without it. Well..I'm starving..time for breakfast. 

felt good today..the weather was terrible and I wore the wrong jacket so I was miserable..but at least my legs felt good and I felt strong...nice when you are about to enter your third trimester and seventh pregnancy no less. I met a lady last week on her fourth baby but 15th pregnancy. She just keeps losing them at 12 weeks. She was 5 months pregnant with this one and seemed hopeful that she would be able to keep it. I have always been  blessed by the Lord in the childbearing dept. And my children are all beautiful and smart. I need to remember that when I have those tired times and thank my father in heaven for the blessings he has chosen to give me and do by best by them. 

pretty good run..no leg problems...no contractions..no cramps..yay!

I need to tell the story of the little lost bird..I don't know if his parents had just pushed him out of the nest or if he fell out.. but he was crawling on the underbrush right next to the river. His parents seemed to be frantically calling to him and in a few moments I couldn't even see him anymore. I looked for him for a few minutes to see if I could push him back in the right direction but he was gone..I ran off wondering if he had fallen in the nearby river. Do birds grieve you think?

not sure on this..Sasha may laugh to remember why I used to cut my runs short. I would see a dog and then turn around and run home. He would always laugh at me for coming back early. Today I cut it short because I saw a drunk guy up ahead and just didn't have the guts to run past him. Or I guess he could have been on something. At any rate, he was walking funny and looked a little out of it. I don't like being alone near men who aren't in control of themselves..

that's a sorta 4..I had to walk alot today...I really don't know what's up with my body( BESIDES the fact that I'm 28 weeks prego) Yesterday I cut my run too short..and I felt it. I was so energetic. But it's not like I went crazy and cleaned the entire house or mowed the lawn or made some crazy amount of waffles. I went grocery shopping, talked on the phone, watched William play, did some sewing...pretty relaxing and lazy day actually. Then whamo I wake up this morning feeling dead and it took 2 miles for my body to wake up and get going. I was literally dragging through the first 2 miles..not like when Sasha or some other elite says that they were dragging at a 8:30 pace!!!! Luckily I did wake up and was able to actually sorta run home. Now I just want to curl up in a ball but today is our busy day..choir and art lessons at our house, running club in the afternoon.  Wish me rest in between the craziness!!!

good run just me and my girls...had a fun day at the ward memorial day breakfast and ate way too much junk. Then we got to go play inside our neighbor's teepee. They are native americans that my boys are FASCINATED to live next door to.
