Thanks for all your treadmill workout ideas everyone, today I really liked the treadmill! I actually ran marathon pace...feeling pretty good about that. :)

  • Body Pump class
  • 3 mile run north of the gym and then rode the bus home.  A few pickups thrown in there from bus stop to bus stop. ;) 

Told 3 people at work who asked if I still run that I felt like my running days were over for a few months after last Thursday's run (that turned into a walk and was a lot more uncomfortable than normal in the bladder/womb/lung region!).  Guess I just needed a little rest because I can still run!  Yay!

  • 5.5 miles, 5th south loop

Put some chocolate protein powder in my green smoothie this morning in efforts to ensure adequate protein...I'm not so sure I like it. :| Maybe I should get some vanilla or orange flavor to go in the green smoothies from now on!

**chocolate/green smoothie update:  yuck, couldn't do it...had to throw the rest away**

  • 4 miles on the treadmill with 4 x .25 mile marathon pace pick ups each mile (pretty much the exact workout as Monday, just one mile less)

OK, I'm feelin pretty darn groovy.  I now love the treadmill, I have now had 3 runs this week with 30 seconds/mile faster times than my normal pregnancy average AND I continue to run despite my constant fears that I'm going to have a 24 weeker pop out of me while running and end up with a NICU baby (what, not everyone thinks like that? :) ).

  • 3 quick miles on the treadmill before I had to leave...I was proud I fit it in, that's what sets us runners apart from the sedentary world! =0)
