Fast Running Mommy

I'm guessing on the distance. I must have turned my Garmin off and then didn't measure quite right. I may still go more than 4 on Mondays because I often feel fairly perky after a nice Sunday rest and feel I need the extra. I went sloooow today and felt like I needed more at the end once I really did start moving faster. Ted's wife Elizabeth went with me and it went quickly as we talked the miles away. 

AAARRGGHH...I have a crazy body. I haven't been able to sleep enough the last two nights...strange for me. Usually if I miss sleep one night I'm super dead asleep the next night. I felt terrible yesterday and then couldn't sleep very well last night either...My cure? Go for a faster run and get that energy out. I have noticed with my body a fine balance between exhaustion and ability to sleep at night. If I am not tired enough I wake up at 5 in the morning...or worse 4. That's usually my signal that I have slacked on the running when I shouldn't have. Maybe I still need 5 miles sometimes...I don't know. The problem is that I'll get braxton hicks and get worn out sometimes and overdo...it's a hard balance running pregnant but the health benefits are definitely worth it.

Ran with Elizabeth again. Real nice to have some company..although I wonder if I was talking too much. I've never been accused of not having anything to say..that's for sure...Oh..except those first awkward conversations with a boy that liked you and would call you on the phone and you'd both make some kind of comment now and then...I've never felt a lack of conversation from myself. 

48 something for the run today...not bad for 27 weeks pregnant. I felt perky today...no contractions...no ligament pains...things are looking up. 

I'm so baby  hungry I need a few projects to keep my mind off the fact that I still have 13 plus or minus weeks to wait. I finished my picnic blanket and thought...okay...no more projects. I'm working on updating my kids scrapbooks.  I on purpose only do a few pages (I hate wasting money on scrapbooking stuff...just a few pages to represent their childhood seems good to me)...sorry if I've offended any die hard scrapbooking ladies out there but I'm just kind of stubborn about it. I am however enjoying what I've done in their books and can see the lure of the habit.

So the next project I want to do is pretend that we are moving and get rid of STUFF that we are never going to use again and organize the stuff we do have so I know what we have and all that.

I have plans to pack up all the toys except the cars, blocks, dolls and kitchen toys so Sasha and the kids will have less clutter to deal with when the baby is born. Hey...then for Christmas we could just take out all the toys from storage. ..just kidding...I would never do that.
 

I'm preblogging today. I woke up at bit late...you know...7:13...that is late for me..and by the time I'd done my morning waking up routine and was out the door my little one Jacob was out of bed and ready for the day. Now I'm waiting for Sasha to come back and then I'll go for a late..hopefully not hot..run.

I got my run in. We had one of our cars at a shop about 2 miles away. So I ran 2 miles and then ran to the car shop. The guy in there couldn't believe I'd run there..you know..pregnant..people are funny about it and it makes being pregnant and in shape especially fun.

Nice place. He says to me, "You know, one time your husband told me that I could be a good marathoner" with this totally incredulous look on his face. I laughed and said, "Isn't he a great guy!" All of us on the blog anyway know that he is determined to convert the entire world to running. Maybe we'll get that car shop guy yet.   

I had a bad fall yesterday at the swimming pool. I totally slipped and fell while I was getting in and injured my tailbone. I just don't feel like doing any extra impact on it today. I'm pretty sure it's not broken or anyhing serious because the pain is fairly lowkey. I can feel the pain still though and that worries me a little. It's been throbbing and sore ever since it happened yesterday at 3 in the afternoon. I'm putting ice on it and will try to take it easy today....
