I'm still alive. Things have been crazy with family and all that jazz. But, I'm catching up!
Remember how I said that I wanted to run a couple half marathons during this pregnancy? Well, Sony just decided that they wanted to sponsor me while I run the SoJo Half Marathon!!!
Cool, huh!? I'm so excited!!! This is exactly what I need to keep my motivation up. They're providing me with this cool little video camera so I can tape some of my runs and the half. It's gonna be cool!! Since the half marathon's on September 25th, I should probably start training again soon, huh? It's only 11 1/2 weeks away.
Everyone keeps telling me to make sure to take it easy and not to over exert myself. So, let me lay this out for everyone. I WILL NOT run, if my body tells me not to. I WILL walk if I have to. I WILL take it easy. I WILL listen to my body and stop if I have to stop. I WILL do what I know is right. I WILL take into account what my Dr. says. No one needs to worry, I will be ok and the baby will be ok. Things are going to be great! :)
I'm starting to feel better, less tired, and less nauseous...so, that's good. My first Drs. appointment is this Friday, lets hope my Dr isn't one of those anti-runners. It's funny cause I've had this Dr with 2 of my babies, but I never ran with either of them. I was the classic eat whatever you want and gain 60+ lbs pregnant woman, so there was never a question if I could run or not. It'll be interesting to see what he says about running a couple halves and what he'll think about me doing the marathon at 5 weeks.I'll just have to tell him that I'm being careful.
Anyway.
I have a recap of yesterday's Freedom Run coming up, so keep an eye out! :)
