Well I'm happy to say that at 20 weeks pregnant, I still managed to run an easy 3-miler on Saturday with Justin. I even pushed Jarom in the jogging stroller. I have such a nice stroller that it almost felt like a crutch more than a hindrance.
I did feel like I might pee my pants for the first mile with everything pounding on my bladder, but I just kept saying to myself, "You JUST peed, you don't have to pee, you don't have to pee."
Eventually it went away and it felt so good to have the sun shining on my face and the breeze blowing on me again.

That is so good to hear that running doesn't die with pregnancy. It's a huge goal of mine to be able to run through my next pregnancy, but I'm really nervous about it because with Teya and Brinley I had horrible morning sickness and couldn't exercise at all the first trimester. By the time I hit the 2nd tri and was feeling better, I was too out of shape to start running. Anyway, I'm glad you're still at it, it gives me hope!
ReplyDeletebtw: so funny about the pee thing! I DID try walking on the treadmill when I was prego and I had to stop every 8 minutes to pee!
