Fast Running Mommy

Didn't mind running by myself quite as much. I'm also getting used to the slower times and not quite so mad about it....It's always a little bit hard to let go but I've learned pushing myself during a pregnancy is not an option. Nice and easy works a lot better. I'm looking forward to this week and hope everyone else enjoys their time this week too. 

Had some decent quarters and some slower quarterrs. Running while pregnant is a mind game in a lot of ways....You have a perfect excuse to stop with every step but you also have the desire to stay in shape and be healthy...it's a hard balance somedays. 

I've given Sasha orders to make sure I get out of bed on time. I really don't need to sleep in but not having a training partner waiting and of course having the excuse that I'm pregnant have made me lazy...it's messing up my schedule though and I need to be up early enough that maybe I can get on the trail before Sasha and his buddies start their runs.  

I've decided I'm having twins. I can't remember being so hungry with any of my kids. I need to eat like 5 times the normal amount of food so I'm not starving every 1 1/2 hours.....which is about to expire and I'm going to eat my fourth bowl of breakfast. That's after a morning snack of a peanut butter sandwich. I am so tired of eating........

I ran slooooow today because I was starving.....help.  

Some skinny people are lazier than heavy people...Not a politically correct statement but this is still a free country. I'm actually just speaking about myself so I guess I shouldn't have made a blaknet statement. I think the first part of my pregnancy is hard on me because I'm naturally lazy about eating. I look at it as more work so I do the bare minimum required (unless it's Oreo Cheescake..that is my one failing). Then when I'm pregnant I have to eat 3-5 times as much and the sheer work of it kills me. It's worse than running to me....mostly because I have to think about every bite I put in my mouth, worry if it's healthy, and then decide if I'm going to like it once it's there.....vent vent vent.

I woke up late but feel MUCH better today than I did yesterday. I'm going to finish with 2.5 miles this afternoon with the girls.

Sasha fed the kids breakfast and I got three more in...I feel so good today I can't believe I'm in the same body I was in yesterday.  

okay...I just have to say I feel awesome...I'm pregnant with number 6...had some super sick days this week where I made Sasha help me all day one of them(rare thing for me..usually I'm happy for him to blog all day while I slave alone. ;)   ....but despite it all I have run 5 miles every day. I am really grateful to Sasha for keeping me in shape and for suggesting the 5 mile a day plan for me. Even though I've had some sick days I feel my overall energy is better than it was with my last two pregnancies. With number 4 I needed to get on thryoid medicene and had a rough time of it at the start. With Jakey baby (number 5) I was more tired I think because I had only been running 2 a day when I got pregnant and slowing down a bit on low mileage just didn't give me that extra kick I'm getting from higher mileage now.  At the time Sasha and I both thought that 2 a day just made sense for a busy mom...but more miles really does give you more endurance and you are just in better overall shape.  

Have a great weekend y'all!! 

2.5 in the morning by myself 2.5 in the afternoon with the girls.
