Last Run Report of this Pregnancy

...and probably for quite some time. BOB doesn't make a triple. I'm going to have to get a bike, a trailer, some helmets and some awesome quads and hammies!

Thanks to a babysitter, I was able to get out for my last run before the Disney Princess Half Marathon next Sunday. I ran a city block and, here in Jacksonville it was close to 7 miles. Seriously, they're huge. Great music and a great run!

I am amazed and so thankful for what my body was able to do these past 20 weeks. Not that I was counting, but I'm certain I didn't run this much in the last two pregnancies combined. With my first I was nervous about everything: heart rate, the jumbling around of the fetus in his little home. I thought I was awesome for going on a hike. The second pregnancy I was too tired and made all the usual excuses a pregnant mamma makes plus we moved across the country and then I just got bigger...and bigger...32 lbs on someone that's never gained more than 17 is painful!

Within four weeks I will have run two whole marathons and that's not including the (lack of) training, chasing around after the kids and rolling with all the punches of the last two months. I am just thankful to have another healthy pregnancy and the chance to do this.


It's been good for my body and good to show the kids that mommy doesn't stop when daddy leaves.



But, it hasn't been so good for...................





Waaaaait for it.......................................................................
