Today was going to be a rest day, but I was so excited about hearing the baby's heartbeat that I had tons of energy. I decided to do a short walk, I did 2 miles of hills. Felt great. Hoping to run again tomorrow.

Where have I been?

Well since finding out I was pregnant (yay!) at the beginning on June I have been sidelined from running since week 5 of my pregnancy due to nausea and fatigue. Wow it is amazing how much work growing a baby is. All those pregnant ladies are not kidding when they talk about the fatigue and nausea, it is all true!

During those 8 weeks I have done some walking more towards the end and finally (yay) I am back to running a little bit. It has felt great so far!

Thursday (13 weeks 4 days) I ran/walked 2 miles... 1 min running at 12 min/miles, 1 min walking at 17 min/miles then another 1 mile walk for a total of 3 miles. I also did some strength training exercises before the run.

Friday I went for a nice walk with Jeff, about 2.5 miles.

Sunday: I did another run/walk...2 miles, 1 min run @12 min/miles, 1 min walk at 17min/mile and then another 1 mile walk for a total of 3 miles. Also did some strength training before the run.

1 mile run and 3.5 mile walk

Well what was supposed to be a 9.44 mile run turned into a 1 mile run and a 3.5 mile walk.

ab ripper x and kenpo x

This morning we went and played 9 holes of golf! So fun! perfect weather too!

This afternoon I did ab ripper x and kenpo x. I wasn't really sure if I was going to get a workout in since my morning was thrown off a bit (had to get blood work done fasting). I am so happy that I did actually do something though!

Tomorrow I was planning on doing a longish run outside, however, it looks like there is going to be rain/snow in the morning so that plan might not actually happen. We'll see in the morning what the weather is doing and what I decide to do.

rest day and 2 miles

Saturday was a rest day as we went to Bozeman. Today I ran 2 miles at 10:30 pace. I wanted to do more but I couldn't because I was in a hurry because Jeff's parents were here. Oh well, at least I got 2 miles in. Foot still feels fine.

Rest day

Today I took a well needed rest day. Felt good to sleep in. Trying to decide whether I want to run or do weights tomorrow. I am thinking probably weights then run on Friday, weights on Saturday and run on Sunday when Jeff's parents are coming and may be here early so I can run outside. i think that is the best plan.

3.25 miles

Today I ran 2.5 miles and walked .75 for a total of 3.25 miles. my foot felt fine. It really only hurts first thing in the morning and without shoes. Weird. Not sure what to make of it. I need a rest day badly I was really tired. I may take that rest day tomorrow.

I did p90x chest and back this morning. Going to run again tomorrow. Excited for that!

I then walked .75 miles for a total of 4 miles. My foot feels fine while in a shoe. Hoping I am going to be okay. After my run I did 3x30 single leg lift, 3x20 laying down leg kick backs, 3x20 side leg lifts (each side). These were challenging. I really want to do p90x legs and back but I don't want to push it and put so much weight on my foot. Tomorrow I will take the day off running. Not sure if I will do chest and back or if I will take a rest day.

Daily milage: 4 miles
Total weekly milage:4 miles
Total yearly milage: 17.24

walk and p90x arms and shoulders

Today when I got up Jeff asked if I wanted to go for a walk. How was I supposed to turn that down! So we went for a 2.34 mile walk. It was really icy so we just went on an out and back on Bitterroot. It was nice to get outside for some exercise. I considered running when we got back but decided the walk was enough as far as putting weight on my foot. I did p90x arms and shoulders. I upped the weight for some of the exercises from 10lbs to 15 lbs. It was definitely a challenge. Hope to feeling tomorrow :)


Daily milage: 2.34
Total weekly milage: 13.24
Total yearly milage:13.24

2.5 miles

Today I decided to run even though my foot was till hurting a little. Once I put on my shoes I was fine. Kinda funny how shoes do that! Anyway ran 2.5 and walked 1 for a total of 3.5. Felt really good during the run and wanted to go further but decided not to as to not reinjure myself. Off to shower and ice it to make sure the healing continues.

Rest day

I feel like I am writing rest day a lot! Oh well I need to take things easy and slowly as to not injure myself!
I didn't do anything today. I have been thinking that I may need to reevaluate my plan. Maybe go down to running every other day instead of 2-3 days in a row. I may try that and see how it works for me.

upped the distance and hurting a bit more!

Today I ran 2 miles and walked 1.4 miles. It felt good while running, however my foot is now hurting a bit more. What a frustrating process. I am thinking about taking tomorrow off to see if that helps. Oh well, still getting there!

Today's run

Today I ran 1.5 miles and walked .5 miles. Getting there!

Rest day

Today is a rest day for me. The foot is feeling okay so hoping to be back into it all within a few weeks! Yippie!

Yay.... I ran 1 mile!

I cannot believe I am cheering for 1 mile, but after 2 full weeks off of running due to a foot injury I will take it! I ran 1 mile and walked 2. Felt good. Foot still feels good (7:30pm) so hoping I am heading towards being off the injured list! I am planning on running 1.5 miles on Tuesday. and adding .5 a day until I get back up to 3-4 miles and then .5 more on Friday/Saturday to build up my base again.

Finally trying to get back into things...

Yesterday I walked 2.5 miles (15m/m) at an incline of 5%. My foot felt okay, it was still a little tender, I was too scared to run still. I am thinking that I will try to run on Tuesday morning if it feels okay. This is a start, at least I am walking :)
