Michelle's run 1.31.13

Time: 20 min run (all running)

It felt good to run.  It was sunny, yet cool, my favorite running weather.  Wore the BeBand which helped a lot.  Also I've found that music is essential for pregnant running.  It keeps me from focusing on the little aches and pains.  One more week to my goal!

I might be the worst Mom ever today, but Sam is a little better today and I just could not wait any longer. Plus fresh air is good for you, right? We went on a 12ish minute / 1 mile run. He did great. I made sure to dress him extra warm: onesie, socks, fleece footed pjs, gloves, hat and blanket. He probably would have started sweating if it had been much longer. Love the stroller, but it is going to take some getting used to running with a stroller. Pictures...

20 minutes of a cardio workout

While I was waiting for dinner to cook and Michael to get home from his class, I did a quick 20 minute cardio workout with the OnDemand.  It was actually a pretty good one for pregnancy.  No up and down, no ab work.  Just moving around and getting the heart rate up.

I think I'm starting to get the third trimester exhaustion, or maybe it was just a long day.  Next week is ridiculously busy (parent-teacher conferences, meetings, etc) ... I may not make it!

We are still struggling with RSV, head colds and ear infections for all 4 at the Burton Home. Prayers that the flu doesn't get us too!! On a happy note and it truly brighten my mood this week, I purchased a used jogging stroller. Thanks to Michelle's research and sharing her knowledge I knew what type strollers to be pricing and keep an eye on. (BOB or Schwinn Turismo) Craigslsist Find: BOB Sport Utility with Weather Shield for $75!! I think it is the 2011 model. Owner said, "I bought it off of a friend over a year ago and have never used it, just trying to free up some space in my garage". The tire tread looks brand new; I truly don't know it is has ever been used. However, all three tires were flat. Made a call to bike shop, said new inner tire tubes are $6 a piece with small fee for labor, we have them in stock, bringing in and we will fix you up. I was think extra $30 still a great deal. Get to bike shop, the pull out all the inner tubes, no problems, air up, place back on tire / wheel and no charge "air is free"!! Now, if I can just get the rain and sickness to go away.

No workouts for me this week. Sam started getting sick last weekend and ended up having RSV and double ear infection. He is better now after taking amoxicillin and breathing treatments. Now....I have head cold, left ear infection and I'm sure RSV;however, didn't have them do a test as it is viral and not much you can do. John is out picking up my z-pak and sudafed right now. I'm very thankful for the Lord's protection as RSV can be much worse in babies and thankful for good health insurance - though I feel yucky now he always takes care of us!!

30 minute walk with Murray

Went on a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood.  It was sunny and the fresh air felt good.  Maybe run tomorrow.

30 minutes of Prenatal Yoga

Where has the week gone???  I didn't get any workouts in this week.  I feel like I was busy most days and didn't really procrastinate a workout per say.  School was cancelled today because of the threat of ice.  While we didn't get a much, it was cold and rainy most of the day.  I had big plans to do a cardio video and yoga, but then I accidentally took a 3 hour nap.  So, I ended up just doing the yoga.  It seemed to really help with my back pain.  I need to do it more consistently! 

I'm hoping to get a run in this weekend.  My goal is to now to do one run a week (probably 10-15 minutes).  That means I will probably only have about 3 more runs.  My belly is starting to get BIG!
