Running Pregnant
I enlisted a friend of mine to run a 5K with me this morning. We arrived to the race site at 7:30 am, a 1/2 hour before the race was to begin. NO ONE WAS THERE. Did I have the wrong start time? The wrong place? We called my friend's husband, who, after some researching online discovered we were at the wrong location. I mistakenly thought the race was at one YMCA when it was really at a different one, 30 minutes away. I fully blame my total stupidity on being pregnant!!!! Isn't forgetfulness one of the side effects of pregnancy? My friend and I decided to drive downtown and run the Swamp Rabbit Path thru the park and through downtown Greenville. It was one of the best runs ever. Gorgeous morning, lots of people out, good company, and a flat running path with no traffic. We ran 6 miles. I felt great at the end. I am so excited about running 6 miles. For those of you who think exercising while pregnant is a "no-no"... I have to disagree. As long as your pregnancy is going well, exercise. It's the only thing that relieves my constipation and it keeps me "relatively" sane!! It is amazing how much easier running is when you are running with someone else! Thanks Brenda, for your understanding and support!!
