taught core fushion in the a.m.
I knew i'd have to run on the treadmill again today and was dreading it. I wanted to do 8 or 9, but only got 7 in due to time. I tried to speed up my legs a little and run low 7s for a while. I had the most insane experience today. I was in the middle of my run and I had an insane desire to go grab a nice fat cheeseburger right then and there. at one point I had to jump off to help my little guy use the potty. I ended up grabbing a pack of fruit snacks, a pack of gu chomps, a piece of bread, and a granola bar (400 calories or so). and then i finished my run! I couldn't believe how hungry i was.
I jumped in on our zumba party that night. So fun! One thing i noticed though was that my belly was sticking out more than normal. I had been soooo strict with my food, and had even taken my shakeology which always flattens out my belly. So I was kind of frustrated. My weight was about the same - 117-118, so i couldn't figure it out.
Well I went to sleep that night and woke up at 3 am. I could not go back to sleep at allcause of something on my mind! So after an hour and a half, i got in the car and drove to wal mart. Strangely i was the only customer in there:) well i picked up some milk, band aids, and a pregnancy test. I was late that month, and had been extra tired. Post marathon symptoms could have been the cause of it too, but i was positive i was right. And i was! While driving home, i experienced a whole gammit of emotions - I was extremely happy of course - This had just come earlier than we had planned. but also disappointed that my racing season was over after all that training. I was relieved to know that my last marathon felt like it did because of the pregnancy (your average heart rate goes up right away - when every workout starts feeling really hard like that, i usually know i've got a bun in the oven)
This pregnancy is already different cause i usually get extremely sick right from the get go. I have had few symptoms aside from being tired...and needing to pee more:) So I'm hoping for an easy one this time - it sure makes it go by faster. |
