We are now into the 2nd trimester and I like it better already. Lower tendons and ligaments needed a break, but I didn't. Checked out the local rec center and did cycling and pilates classes.
People who know I still run ask me if I make sure my heart rate is below 140. I tell them that is out-dated information and I just make sure I don't over do it and that I can always take solid breaths. I have researched the topic extensively, I went to a conference where doctors presented their research on the topic and I also just feel for myself that getting a nice hard session in is a good thing. I feel much better when I can do this, so I'll just follow my intuition and be careful and I really think things will be great. I just ordered a book that I've come across often during my research and am looking forward to reading it.
