Please disregard my last post about me not running any more because it is too painful. Sure it is still painful, but I can't seem to stop myself from doing it. Here's the sad part, I don't even like running. It is a necessary evil and there is no other exercise, in my opinion, that gives you the most "bang for your buck". You can do it anywhere, you don't have to go long to get a good workout, and all you need is a pair of shorts and some running shoes. (Yes, I wear a shirt!)
Ok, to the point, I did a 5K race yesterday morning and told myself that I'd take it easy and run the first mile, walk the second, then run the third. My competitive drive kicked in and I ended up running the whole race. For all you big time runners, I know that a 5K is hardly anything, but for me it was super difficult and it HURT! And the sad part is that my husband did the 10K event and finished only 11 minutes behind me. Then today my mom informs me that she ran the LA Marathon 4 months pregnant with my younger sister. Granted, she says she race walked 16 miles of it, but WTF? No thank you, I'll stick to my measly 5K.
I'm intersted to hear what others of you are doing exercise-wise at 4-5 months. Have you been able to stay in shape? Right now I'll run/walk 3-5 miles, swim 1-2 miles, and bike an hour about five times a week. Obviously, I only do one of these events once a day. I'm not that nuts. I've got to stay in shape because I am doing the swim portion of a half Ironman relay in August at 7 months . My mother-in-law is doing the bike and my mom is running. Pretty random. I'll make sure to let you know how that goes - or doesn't go!
In other baby news, I was a good girl and didn't eat any salt and vinegar chips yet this Memorial Day Weekend, but there's still one more day left and I might break. Going to sushi tonight, no worries, I am only eating the veggie rolls.
