Aaah! I knew I shouldn't
Aaah! I knew I shouldn't have clicked here. Great work, everyone!
Funny about getting pregnant right before a race, chickpastor. When I got pg with #1, I was training for a half marathon. But I hadn't registered for the one I wanted to run. When I got pg, I decided against doing the race. As luck would have it, the week after the race, I went to a conference and got lost while running. I ended up running 15 miles and having a blast. I totally should have run that half pregnant.
This is torture. I ran on Tuesday, 4.6 at an 8:40 pace (kinda fast for me). But I was feeling kinda sick, like I was running a fever. I was. And I had muscle cramps all over. Wednesday, I didn't run because when I got up from my desk to go get changed, I started shivering. Thursday, I couldn't take it and I went out running - plus it was about 56 and lightly raining. Perfect running weather. I got about 1 mile out and thought I needed to be picked up in the WAAAAHmbulance. I had muscle cramps all over, from my toes to my eyes. So I decided just to run back as fast as I could just to get back in. Ended up doing my last mile in less than 8 minutes, which I've never done before, but boy did I regret that. I wanted to die when I got back to my office.
So I sensibly stayed in today. I'm still sick but now I'm climbing the walls. I can't wait till sunrise; I'm going to have to run.
