Here we go again~

Well, I was going to get up this morning and get on the TM but I didn't (Ty actually turned off the alarm and I didn't hear a thing so, it resulted in sleeping in).  I woke up at 6:50 and debated trying to go down on the TM for even just 30 mins but was worried about getting back into the routine of things after our LONG break from work and opted not to.  Good thing as we all had a bit of a hard time getting back to our normal school/work morning jive.  So, I got home from work and ran out for a minute in between getting home and Tyler running.  I am a bit sad tonight :(.  I am just 28 weeks pregnant and the running hit a bit of a wall for me tonight.  I hit 2 miles and started cramping worse then typical.  For the last long while I would get Braxton Hicks that would tighten my stomach and create the pain down the back of my legs but tonight it was a sharp pain that ran along the bottom of my stomach, up both sides and down the front and back of my legs.  It honestly felt like my muscles and ligaments, etc were tearing.  It hurt and almost brought me to tears.  I tried to walk a few times and start running again and actually was able to run the last 1 1/2 miles straight but it really hurt!! And, I have now been home for 5 hours and am still cramping. I am not sure what to do at this point.  Wondering if it was just a "night" or the way things are going to be from now on and if I am doing damage, etc.  I need to think about things and may try to find a pregnancy belt to use when running, I have heard those help!! Guess we'll see. 

I think it's safe to say that I did some damage with yesterday's run.  My stomach proceeded to hurt (like painful muscle hurt) all night, through the night and so far all of today!! Not sure if I dare say running will have to stop until after the baby, but it's appearing as if it may be the case.  So, I was glad that Heidi C text last night and opted to do a workout video with me today downstairs! I have such an easier time getting up if I know someone is coming over.  I even woke up before the alarm and was able to get some things done in my house which was nice:).  So, we did some strength training and called it good! I think I will try to get on the TM tonight for some brisk walking or maybe even go to the gym to hop on the elliptical.  I need to do something Cardio'ish! Guess we'll see how it goes with our busy night! Have a happy Tuesday!

So, I was going to get up this morning and run with Heidi C but to put it frank, I just wasn't in the mood :).  My babes (3 1/2 year old, but still call him my babes) threw up about 8:00ish last night and then was fine but I started feeling sick to my stomach during the night and just had an uneasy stomach when I woke up so again.....I wasn't in the mood to run and I was also a bit apprehensive after my run from Monday ( I know, I need to have a more positive attitude).  Sooooooo, I got home from work today and decided to go downstairs to get some sort of workout it.  I ended up getting 3 miles in on the Treadmill.  I walked for .25 each mile, then ran it out to the mile mark, then walked, etc.   This helped with the contracting and didn't kill me off:) Then, I got done running and did 30 minutes of my Physique 57 workout that literally about killed me! Its sad that I used to be able to do the full 57 minutes and actually get through it without wanting to die! I have a long way to go to get back into shape after my baby but at least I will have a baby to show for it! I am excited for that! It's all good! So glad I got something in for the day:) 

This cold winter is killing me:). As if its not already hard enough to get motivated to get out and run being "front" heavy, I can't seem to find the desire to layer in multiples to run outside. In other words, I opted to stay inside today.  So, I woke up with intentions to run on the TM but I think my little lady (aka baby) was laying on something because I felt a pinch in my hip that went down my leg so I just decided to go for a good old fashioned walk:).  It actually felt really nice and got my heart pumping.  I walked for about 30 minutes at a brisk pace and then did weights and stretching for another 20 mins or so.  It was good to get up and get my morning off to a good start:)! 

Oh how I love winter and the time that it allows me to run.  Meaning, its so nice sleeping in and running later in the morning:).  This morning Heidi C and I left at 9:00AM to got out for a quick 5 mile square!!! I felt pretty good.  We walked for the first little bit, then ran until mile 2.5, then took another little walk break and finished the rest of the way running.  No major cramps today which was very nice!! Looks like I can still keep hanging in there!! :)
