   Nathan was born on 11/1/11 via c-section. After a 2-month hiatus from running (I ran up until about a month before Baby Day), on 12/2/11, I finally felt recovered enough to attempt running again.

   Another good run. I Katie "working out" next to me --- lifting 2-lb dumb bells and jogging laps around the basement. The entertainment made the time pass quickly! I'm not logging my distances yet, but I'm covering about 2.5 miles (2.6 today) over the 1/2 hour.

   I still stuck to a slow jog with plenty of walk breaks, but it was good :) I forgot how much happier I feel after I have a good workout. I think I missed running more than I realized!

   Today marks my triumphant reunion with my old friend, the treadmill!!! I feel so happy to finally be feeling up to a good sweat session. I ran/walked this one. The runs felt great, and I felt like I could have kept going, but I didn't want to overdo it. Hooray! (Now, to see if I can fit a workout regime into my regular schedule!)

     You are an amazing woman! I hope that you continue to feel good and are able to sneak in those work outs as needed. It is as much about the mental health aspect as the physical health. Rock on!

     At least you ended with a kick ass run. That is enough to motivate you to coming on strong after Baby is born!

    Slowish but steadyish. Kept about an 11:00/mile pace, including walks - not bad for me on the 'mill (where I tend to run slower). 33 weeks today!

    Pretty good! I know many would consider running at 32 weeks pure insanity, but I did the 80/20 run/walk thing like I've been doing and I'd actually consider this amount of exercise (for me) to be in the moderate range, and moderate activity is considered a good thing. :-) I wore my other pair of running shoes today, and that took care of the leg/foot issues. Yay! Amazing how that works...

      Theresa, I ran or ellipticalled or cycled 3 to 5 days per wk until the night before the planned Csection at 39 wks. I think women are insane not to be active into the 3rd tri. Great job! Btw...will you be joining the family of five club now?

      Congratulations! I think Baby A loves the rocking and rolling that comes from his mama's runs. Keep it up as long as it feels good.

    It was an alright run. Did my walk/jog thing and it went quickly. No complaints except my feet hurt a little bit. I know I need new shoes, and I'm sure the extra 20 pounds I'm carrying around aren't helping my case. But, oh well. I'll get new shoes after Four is born!
