| It was fereeeezing today outside - really brutal chilly wind. So I ran on the good ole treadmill again today. I got 5 miles in and they actually felt rather good - for a 10 min mile anyways! I was surprised. I even did some minor speed intervals to keep it interesting. My side is still bugging a bit, but usually goes away halfway into it. | |

I taught strength class, but didn't do much of it as I was making them to jump boxes and lots of stuff that I can't do and needed to assist with. I reallly needed the workout, but burned tons of calories getting last min shopping done and playing host to my sis in law and neices and nephews.

I knew I was going to be traveling the next day, so I squeezed my run in on the tread. 4 miles - very slow....ran at a 5.0 to 5.5. Got to slow down sometime i guess. I'm glad i got myself to run 4
I spent the rest of the day packing and getting ready for Star Valley trip. I love having my christmases in the snow with lots of fam around!

| We spent the whole night traveling to star valley, and my legs were not happy with me by the time we got there. My feet were actually swollen - which has never happened to me before in pregnancy. I was even wearing my compression stockings?? | |

I was shocked by how good I felt today! I got to run with my sweetie which only happens a couple times a year. He was nice enough to wait for me, but we still managed to average 8:30s to 9 min miles. I ran again without belly belt. We also ran in 20 deg mountain weather which didn't seem to faze either of us. nd running on the snow made for a cushioned run:) I walked for about a mile in the middle of it all, but ran about 4.5 of it.
We went bowling, and then to see the new Mission Impossible which made for a seriously fun filled day. i managed to get 2nd for bowling with a 148 (lost to my bro by 2 points.....dang it). I just wanted to beat him once cause he always wins. | |

1 hr turbokick - I managed to squeeze it in among all the festivities and overeating. I was pretty exhausted by the end. | |

I tried out the star valley gym and went 20 min on 3 different pieces of equipment. It all felt like an eternity. This is why i run - you just get it done.
I started out on the treadclimber - can i tell you i hate this thing. i stopped paying attention and one foot would dip lower than the other. I followed with 20 min on the broken elliptical runner, followed by the rower. i tried to do some strength afterwards, but just couldn't motivate myself to do much.
We traveled home from sv today, and I was so sad to go this time. This trip went way to quickly. Plus driving in the car just kills me at this point. Why do trips always seem to take longer on the way back? | |

I got up and did an hour of insanity (yes i am crazy) with my 5 year and and a bunch of nieces and nephews to keep me company:) I'm proud to say that i can still do a lot of it!
We went to the rec center afterwards and swam with the family and kids, and the pool actually felt pretty good for once. Either that or all my extra fat is insulating me nicely.
I weighed myself today and am at 143. So if I only gain 5-6 more pounds in the next 8 weeks I will be right where I want to be. I'm 32 weeks today!!!!

Oh crap, I can't believe I haven't blogged for all of december! There's no way I'm remembering all that, so I'll have to keep it brief. I really want to keep up so that I can compare notes with my next pregnancy (yes I'm thinking I'll prob at least have 1 more - crazy!!!) Not for at least 3 years though.
So I got up today and ran the annual new years day run with my friends, and it was such a blast. I managed to eke out some 8:30-9 min miles which is much easier to do when you are talking with someone. i ran without my belly belt and for some reason, everything hurts less. I got to run in my new frees and they felt way good!
We consumed our calories back in donuts and hot chocolate afterwards:)
I enjoyed a quiet peaceful evening watching a red box with my fam. We have had so much company and craziness around here, that it felt good to just relax on new years eve. | |
