1 mile of walking at work with my orientation group to break up the day.  There is a specific route you can take that includes the U, Hunstman, Moran, Primary's.  It includes lots of stairs!

I actually felt great today.  Kind of thought of going for a run, but I was nervous of the blood sugar aftermath since I have to go back to orientation tomorrow.  If I knew I could lay around all day I probaly would have.  We did spend a couple hours packing though...getting closer!

I ran!  It felt great!  I can't stand sitting for 11 hours anymore! 

Only 3 more days of orientation...

I ran today!  It's like I've discovered running....again...for the third time this year. =0)  City Creek.  Mmmm...  The colors are beautiful right now. 

I have felt good every day this week except Sunday.  The only thing I've done differently is I started taking my prenatal vitamin at night right before I fall asleep instead of in the morning.  I started that Sunday night so it must be part of the reason!  Either way, I'm taking advantage. :)

  • 6.5 miles, east high loop

I had to stop a few times to rest, but the cobwebs in my lungs from not running for 2+ weeks are slowly disappearing!

I really wish I could be with everyone at St. George this weekend! 

**update: I just looked at my blog totals and it looks like I was only out of running last week...it's funny how the brain thinks it is so much longer than that :)

I am so grateful to be able to run!  It makes me happy. It's funny because I'm about 2-2:30 mins/mile slower.  I used to try and beat 54 mins for this exact same route, and now I'm happy if I can come in around 1 hour 11 mins. =0)  I made my goal this week of 25-30 miles. I hope to continue that for as long as I can for the next 7 months.  I can tell a definite difference as far as being more tired when I get back, I'm much more thirsty and I have to eat on time through the whole day or I WILL puke.  But I can also see a huge difference in my well-being (both physically and mentally) when I run as opposed to not running, so I know it has to be a good thing.  At work, I see way too many babies taken out early due to pregnancy-induced hypertension.  I also see a lot of gestational diabetic babies.  Neither options are favorable for the first weeks of life!  I know these are sometimes out of the mom's control, but by golly, I will do everything in my power to avoid it!

Excited to watch conference today and tomorrow, always a fun weekend. :)  Me, James and my little sister are going to try and get in standby tomorrow, hopefully it works!
