Fast Running Mommy

I ran one mile..very slow..my PMA the other day backfired...I was exhausted the rest of the day...Then both of my boys woke up and I gave up. I put them in the stroller and wogged with them another mile. I can keep going around the block if Jacob is awake because he sleeps in a pack n play crib that is low to the ground(so he can't get hurt if he tries to get out) and well...he doesn't try to get out. Anyway, when I chekced on things they were both awake and Joseph is 3 and can get out of his bed and make trouble....so...that was that.

I ran another mile but I'm going to keep the counter at 2 miles because I only ran 2 miles today and walked one.  

Rough day...bad ligament cramps..slow

Pretty good day today. I started getting the ligament cramps again...I think my body knows it's heading for the third huge trimester. My stomach tries to defy gravity when I'm pregnant by sticking out front and center...I don't carry on the side or in my ribs or hips or the other crazy places some women's bodies hide their babies.  Thus..my ligaments sometimes rebel and try to bring my stomach back to earth.

The pregnancy belt worked fairly well. I slapped it on when the pain started and ran the rest of the way with relative ease. We'll see how tomorrow goes.
 

I put the belt on after the first lap today...I'm probably going to be scared to try running without it now. It isn't uncomfortable at all so it's really not so bad. My ligaments started hurting on the last lap and I'd been struggling with fatigue on and off during the run (which believe it or not is actually not usually an issue..I usually mostly have the energy but some weird pregnancy thing gets in my way)...so I called it a day and came in to blog. 

So...the last mile was walking with Luz but I'm gonna count it just for fun. 

I had a pretty normal run today..started out slow...struggled to warm up and then felt pretty good at the end.

Sasha is going to try and figure out a way for me to get on the trail more because running pregnant around the block by myself is getting old and it's way too tempting to just give up when I'm passing my house every 1/3 of a mile....when I'm on the trail however I'll need to bring a cell phone with me ...just in case I get stuck. 

I've been really good about getting out of bed all week right when I wake up in the morning. So I've been up and moving by 6:00 almost every day. Today..well..I didnt' wake up until 7 and then I didn't get out the door right away and by the time I'd done 2 miles Jacob was out of his bed and according to Benjamin he was trying to hack into my computer downstairs....so...I cut my run short. Maaaaaybe I'll get some in later tonight but I've been having so many cramps today (I think they are just stretching pains but I don't like them) I may just take it really really easy. I always feel lazy when I don't get my 5 miles in...It's funny because most days it really does give me more energy.

In other news...I have got my picnic blanket on the quilting frames and I'm going to be done with it (meaning...all tied and bound and ready to use) by next week....It's been a really fun project and turned out lovely. I think it will bring us many years of picnic joys...
