Gotta keep blogging...

Even though I haven't been running everyday and I haven't been a great blogger lately, I realized today that I need to keep blogging. Even if it's just for fun and for a journal type thing, I need to keep it up.

I've been getting past the whole nauseous and tired thing. Some days are worse than others and some days I'm completely fine. I need to start taking advantage of those "completely fine" days and get out there and run. My training schedule is pretty easy this time around since I'm only training for a half. (It still feels weird to say "Only a half".) I'm doing the Hal Higdon Half Marathon Training Schedule. I think it'll be perfect for me being prego and all.

So, I ended up not going to my appointment today. Things are all mixed up on the insurance front. We're switching to J's work insurance cause the deductible is a HECK of a lot less than the INSANE $7500 deductible we used to have for having a baby. Isn't that stupid? $7500 on top of our regular deductible and then 20% after that. Ugh....so anyway. The insurance is in the middle off being transferred so I have to wait until it processes in the system. It looks like I won't be able to go in until August sometime. Oh well, things will be fine and everything will work out.

Lets hope tomorrow is one of those "completely fine" days so I can get out there and run. :)

GUESS WHAT! GUESS WHAT!!

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! :)
