Michelle's walk 3.29.13

30 minute walk with Murray

Murray and I took another walk around the neighborhood.  Our doula said walking uphills will help my body get ready for labor (not start it, just get my body ready).  Luckily our neighborhood is hilly.  Walking still feels pretty comfortable.  No waddling or anything.  At the end of the walk, Murray and I even jogged 2 house lengths.  Mostly, I wanted to see what it would feel like to jog that pregnant and I wanted to know if I could do it.  I thought the worst it could do was cause me to go into labor.  It really wasn't bad, but like I said it was two houses! 

Now to clean my kitchen....

Yikes it's been too long.  Life has been busy with exhibit and then getting ready to go on maternity leave.  Then we had terrible weather the last few days (flurries on Spring Break?!?!).  I also have a fear of walking and going in to labor.  I'm just not ready yet!  However, I sucked up my fears and went today.  It was still chilly, but sunny.  Murray was even good. 

After we got back from our walk I put Murray to the stroller test.  He generally doesn't like strollers, so I have been a little nervous about getting him near it.  When we tried it out inside he didn't seem to mind, so I thought I would see how he would walk beside it.  He did great!  One thing that helps is that it's a jogger, so the wheels don't make any noise.  It's so quiet.  I could tell he didn't love it, but it didn't bother him too much.  Another impressive thing, I was talking to my mom on the phone (so holding the cell phone up with my shoulder), holding his leash in one hand, and opened the stroller with the other.  Just call me super mom!  :)

Mysti's Workout 03-18-2013

3.58 mile - 57 minute: Run / Walk. Mostly running first two miles.

Mysti's Workouts Week March 11th

Tuesday's Lunch = Veggie Sub w Baked Chips. Wednesday's Lunch = Grilled Chicken Salad. Thursday's Lunch = Veggie Sub w Baked Chips. Wednesday's Workout = One Hour Walk. Fridays's Workout = One Mile Walk. Saturday's Workout = 3 Mile Run / Walk. All workouts were with Sam and the jogging stroller. I think there is a reason it is called a jogging stroller not running stroller - you just cannot move as fast. Maybe that's just my excuse for a slow run.
