Runner Girl No More...

So at 34 weeks it has been brought to my attention (as stubborn as I am) that maybe running is NOT for all pregnant women. I have been a runner all of my life, and for the first time am to the point of "HELL NO!" Which is big. HUGE. ASTRONOMICAL. But heres the thing....I've gained appx 30 lbs...which is normal...however my body is not use to this kind of weight....therefore I have all these new fun things going on....

- Shin Splints (never quit understood that pain, never been a problem before....)
- Back Pain (normal...yes...worse AFTER running...weird.)
- Feet pain (normal again...giving them their own heartbeat for hours after a run??? Ummmm....no thanks)
- Boobs. I have boobs. Obnoxiously wearing two sports bras so they don't hit me in the face boobs. (First for me!)
- Shortness of breath (like I 3 pack a day smoker shortness of breath)
- The desire to PUKE EVERYWHERE...due to acid reflux (thank you for allowing me to puke in your alley kind sir...)

So here's what I have decided....

If you are prego...do what you can...I recommend walking or something less strenuous...only because it is suppose to make your delivery a HELLA lot easier...and after the nightmares I have heard...I want the EASY button please....

If you are not prego but have a little extra cushion for the pushin...I get it...it sucks...but while each week of pregnancy it gets harder, each week of you working out, yours will get easier...Don't give up friend...

So here I am trying to keep my "game face" on for another 6 weeks....I think I can , I think I can...I will never take for granted an easy 5 mile jog for fun again...

Peace and love...
