This week has been lacking in running because I've had some sore ligaments from running. I ordered a maternity belt online and is getting here tomorrow. So hopefully I can keep pressing on.

Ran with Sariah this afternoon at 4. Our husbands were home early today so we took advantage of this beautiful december weather. We wore shorts and a t-shirt for our run. I wonder what people think when they see us run by, do they think, "good for them," or is are they thinking "these women our hurting their unborn children, they're terrible." We were fine except for the very urgent and sudden bathroom break I needed to take 2 miles in. I wasn't sure I would make it to the bathroom, it was a close call.

I felt good running today. I was worried I was going to have to start winding down my running for the rest of my pregnancy. But today went well.

I ran on the treadmill at the gym today. I had some "hicks" kicking up so I switched to the bike for a little while.

I went to the gym and started off on the bike because the treadmills were being used. I did 20 minutes on the bike then was able to switch to the treadmill. I was feeling good today, no braxton hicks or other pregnancy pains so I decided to do a 1 mile time trial. I just wanted to see if I could still feel good running one mile under 8 minute pace. I warmed up one mile, then did a faster mile on the treadmill, I put the treadmill at 1.5% incline and boosted the speed up to 7:30 pace. I ran the majority of the run at 7:30 pace then the last .3 at 6:58 pace. I didn't pay to much attention to time but I think I was around 7:20ish for my fast mile. Cooled down one more mile after that.As soon as I stopped running I suddenly had to pee and almost went in my shorts. Close call. I was pretty happy with the mile, I felt good and in control. (28-29 weeks preggo)

I ran on the treadmill today at the gym. I would've run longer but the kids area was getting to chaotic and I didn't want my two year old to get destroyed. Schools out and there were more kids around today. I did do a faster mile again on the treadmill today, I think I'll try to do this once a week from now on. I put the treadmill at 1.5% incline then did a two mile warm up, 7:04 flat mile, then one mile cool down.

We went to the gym today for our last day of running in 2014. I did 2 miles then did a faster mile in 7:12. Then 1 mile cool down. I was getting a lot of pains my last mile so a lot of it was fast walking/jogging. Then I did 20 minutes on the bike.
