All it takes is one guilt inducing holiday that tells you to make changes to get me back on the blog.  HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!  I bundled up and ran outside today.  I didn't go out until about 10 so it wasn't too cold.  I could have done without 2 layers of pants and 2 layers of sweaters. lol, can you tell I'm not an experienced winter runner. 

I went really slow because a) the roads and sidewalks are slick in parts and b) because as you're all aware I haven't exercised in months.  Yeah that's plural, MONTHS!  It's gotten really hard to find time with the early long  hours of my job and December was super busy and somedays I was working 10 + hours. But I have gained too many lbs, so I'm going to get back to the running/ P90X lifestyle. 

I didn't want to put my splits because they're so embarrassing .  I ran without stopping to 1.5 and then walked a little then ran to 2 and then from 2-3 it was brutal

I'm not going to lie. Those splits are pretty slow. But you're right. They can only get better. It's great to have you back.

From Ericka on Sat, Jan 02, 2010 at 23:04:45 from 70.193.147.179

I never put my splits either, I pretty much do the same every time so at least I know. Nice job today. Any plans for races this year?

From Lily on Sun, Jan 03, 2010 at 21:55:50 from 67.199.179.188

Well I for one am glad your back slow splits or not! :)

Well it's small but it's still a run or jog if you will.  I tried to keep my pace up better this time so Burt wouldn't ridicule me for being so slow. I was still slow but I ran 2.5 without stopping.  I'm going to run in the morning too.  I ran tonight after work.  I played around too long  on the internet after I got home at 4:30 so it was pretty dark and cold out there but it felt good. I've decided if I was just in shape, I would like winter running way better than hot summer sweaty running.

Slow and steady wins the race, right?  If that's the case I've got the slow part down :)

I ran 2 without stopping then mile 3was mostly running and a little walking and mile 4 was prob half and half.  Not too bad though for not running consistently in months. 

This could be the start of something good.

Preggers is true! I'm having a little babe in September... I've been super sick so no running, walking, moving or really much of anything these last 6 or 7 weeks. 

I remember sometimes when I was running I would be in pain and tired and I thought to myself I can't wait until I'm pregnant and I have a really good excuse not to do this everyday... I would trade running pain for throwing up any day of the week. 

I'm actually really really excited for the day when I run again and have energy and just feel so exhausted but so great after running as long as I could :)

So you won't see me much more (like I've been on here much anyway) but hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll start feeling better and I can atleast get biking miles in or eliptical miles :)  And can't wait for you all to meet the little babe-ster.

Aww how fun. By the end of your pregnancy, you'll probably be yearning to run again. You will miss it. Till then, good luck being prego and take it easy :)

Hey Britta! Not close enough :). I'm 29 weeks and it's going pretty good. Just failed my 1st glucose test so now I have to do the 3 hr one on saturday. bummer. How close are you?

From Britta on Tue, Jul 13, 2010 at 22:01:34 from 99.25.218.45

I didn't realize we were as close. I am just about 23 weeks. My due date it Nov.11. How about you? Good luck with your 2nd glucose test. Yucky!!

Do you know what you are having?

From Kelli on Tue, Jul 13, 2010 at 22:15:37 from 71.219.99.30

Ah, stink! Those glucose tests are so not fun! Hope you pass the next one, if not, it will be OKAY!!!!

Slow milesFast milesTotal Distance

It's not running mileage but it's mileage none the less.  Last Saturday I took the 1hr glucose test and found out today that I didn't pass- big BUMMER!  So I have to take the 3 hr test on Saturday.  I'm turning a new leaf now because I really really don't want to do the whole gestational diabetes business.  I'm going to eat super good this week and hopefully that will help my results on Saturday.  And if it doesn't- oh well.  I will continue to eat good and exercise for the next 11 weeks. 

I just walked around the block- took my garmin just so I could know the mileage.  It was wierd putting on my shoes and garmin and then not running.  When I first got started I thought I feel good enough I could run but I didn't.  I'm not so sure that would be the best way to start after 5 months of nothing.  Sometimes I feel bad I haven't been running since the beginning but then I remember that I was throwing up 3-4 times a day until Mid may so it made working out quite impossible.  once I started feeling better I still didn't feel up to working out.  But now I feel like I don't have a choice and I know it will be good for me so hopefully I can continue to post atleast walking mileage.  I don't have a gym pass anymore so walking will probably be it atleast until after the babester gets here.
