Time: 10 minute run
Well I got a run in before the New Year. I had really been feel down today (is there such a thing as pre-baby blues?) and had decided that I didn't want to go for a run after all. Well, Michael convinced me to at least run up and down the street to maybe help me feel better. I don't feel completely better, but my spirits are lifted and I have some more energy. Hopefully tomorrow I will do an actual run.

Michelle's run 12.27.12
time: 30 minutes of running
I was able to do another 30 minute run. It was a cold run, but only my fingers were really cold during the run. I had planned on trying to wear my running tights, but I couldn't find them. Maybe Michael hid them so I would try to wear them in public. :) Seriously, I need to find those tights! I love them. I just wore a bootcut pair of pants instead.
Went to the doctor yesterday and I had only gained 2 pounds in the last month. Plus my blood pressure was excellent. I told them it was because I was on Christmas Break and they laughed, thinking I was kidding.

Michelle's semi-workout 12.24.12
15 minutes, arm and leg exercises in my living room
It's a miracle I ended up doing anything. I had a run all planned out. However, when I got in my car, it wouldn't start. I'm thinking the battery is dead, but I have to wait until Michael gets home to find out for sure. So running was out. I just can't run in our ultra hilly neighborhood anymore. Then I decided to take Murray on a walk, well as soon as we went outside it started raining. We made it about 5 minutes. So, I ended up just using my weights in my living room to do an arm workout and then some lunges and other Jillian Michael-ish moves. After all of the previous stuff I was also getting pressed for time (my mother-in-law was driving up). Well at least I did something and I can feel a little better about all of the sugar I have been eating lately!
Merry Christmas!!!

Michelle's run 12.22.12
Time: 30 minutes (all running!)
I am so happy that I was able to run for 30 minutes without walking. I felt pretty good (as good as you can probably feel running with an extra 10+ lbs) and was happy to get some exercising in. The weather was also great.

Michelle's run 12.17.12
20 minutes walk/run
I was starting to think I wouldn't run again (during this pregnancy). Last week was so crazy at work, I did not get home before dark 1 day. Then I was exhausted Saturday and Sunday it rained ALL DAY (plus, I was still exhausted). It took all of the energy I had to get out there today. It definitely wasn't pretty after taking a whole week off. My legs were letting me know how mad they were. I didn't wear my band, so my lower abs hurt too. However, I did something and actually had more energy when it was over. That may have been some of the exhaustion problem, I hadn't exercised. Hopefully the next couple of weeks will be better for working out (weather permitting).
p.s. heartburn adds a new challenge to running as well!

Mysti's 12-15-2012
Couch to 5k - Week 5 Day 2 with some extra running. 3 miles 38 minutes. Hills and no sidewalks. Did better than I thought I would. Who knows I could learn to like hills and winter running.

Mysti's Workout 12-09-2012
Couch to 5k - Week 5 Day 1
30 minutes and 2.5 miles
I bought my first pair of fitted long running pants. I'm determined to learn to enjoy cold weather running. Today was a good test / start with weather in the middle 40's and windy. With my pants and long sleeve shirt I was nice and toasty - almost too warm at the end. I also felt good the entire run.

Michelle's Run 12.8.12
Time: 20 minutes
I got into looking at fabric for the baby's room this morning and didn't leave myself much time to run. I was able to squeeze 20 minutes in. I drove to the hospital near our house and ran in the flat neighborhood around it. I felt good the whole run, my legs were just a little stiff in the beginning from having almost a whole week off from running. No excuse for the lack of running, just Christmas shopping and being lazy! I couldn't believe that I was wearing a t-shirt and shorts in December!

Couch to 5k - Week 4 Day 3; 25 minutes and 2 miles. It was a slow run, but it was a run. Think I'm still recovering from a week of very sleepless nights due to Sam's horrible cold and cough that woke up the whole house. He is better now and slept through the night last night.

Michelle's workout 12.6.12
Workout: cardio dance
I went back to cardio dance this week. I feel like I am much bigger this week. I do feel kind of silly dancing around to "sexy and I know it" when I am 21weeks pregnant! Hahaha. I had a harder time with the class... Not really pregnancy related, but the arches of my feet were hurting. It was strange.

Michelle's run 12.2.12
Time: 25 minutes (run/walk)
Michael and I went for a run/walk this evening. I had to walk up the big hill and down some of it. Then there was another smaller hill that I had to walk when I got to the top. The end of the run was flat and I felt good. My back and stomach were giving me minor problems, but once I stopped the irritation stopped (which is the key, my doctor says). Michael was patient to run so slowly with me. He of course did another lap around the neighborhood after I finished. It was nice to have someone to talk to.
