You know how a few months ago everybody had spring fever?
We knew warm weather was right around the corner and the anticipation was killing us?
Well I've totally got running fever.
I know it's almost here.
Only 5 weeks of pregnancy to go.
And it feels so close, I can practically taste it.
I'm totally patting myself on the back here, but I have been extremely diligent with elliptical training at the gym lately.
Last week we went to the gym every day but Sunday.
I have a cold right now and my head was so hazy all day, but I still made it today and put in my 45 minutes, level 10, sweat like crazy time on the elliptical.
During those 45 minutes, practically all I do is think about running.
Sometimes I get tempted to just stop and switch over to a treadmill, just to see... but then I realize how pointless (and embarrassing) it would be when I have to stop 30 seconds into it, which I know would happen. So I stick to my elliptical, and enjoy the awesome new running playlist I got Justin for Fathers' Day. Sean Kingston is HANDS DOWN the best artist to run to for me. Eenie Meenie Minie Mo Lover and especially Fire Burnin' make me move like you've never seen a pregnant lady move before. :)
Seriously though, I can't wait to have my body back, to have core muscles again, to just take off with no inhibitions and run so hard I think I'm gonna puke.

Tara you are my pregnancy exercise idol! Seriously, I am only 12 weeks into this and my work out efforts have been dismal. I can't imagine doing 45 minutes of cardio right now, let alone when I'm 8 months prego! You are awesome and I'm so impressed with how consistent you've been. I'm praying that when the morning sickness phase passes I'll be able to get back into a consistent work out routine. I'd be happy with 30 minutes 3 times a week, anything better than the pathetic once a week workouts I've been getting in lately!
ReplyDeleteYou are gonna bounce back so quickly, I'm totally excited for you. That last month of pregnancy is tough and I totally know that spring fever feeling. Hang in there, only 5 weeks left!
