He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

Gorgeous morning!!! Ran with Ana. Felt ok. I had to take a few walking breaks. I had side cramping. I think it was a ligament. Anyways, stopped when it hurt and ran when it didn't.

We ran past a special needs teenager and he told us that we were both pretty. So Sweet!

I am past the yucky sick stage (cross my fingers)!!!

Just happy to run this morning.

Packing for the beach now, we are spending the day at Huntington Beach. Can't wait!!!!

Ran 3.5 walked .5. My legs are so sore from weights yesterday. I am exhausted!

We are taking our oldest out on date night to see Toy Story 3. He earned an award at school so this is his reward. The other two are staying home with a sitter.

I want to lay down and rest but I have too much to do today. I don't think I will get to lay down until Monday. I hope I can make it through the weekend.

Legs are still super sore from weights Ana and I just walked. We vowed not to hit our legs so hard next week.

I practically colapsed a few times today out on our walk.

Ran 1 walked 4. Just couldn't get my body to do what my mind kept telling it. Still happy to get out and get some sort of exercise.

Went to the DR. yesterday and everything looks great from my ultrasound. I always like to get past that too know everything is developing properly. I also had some extra blood work done for Downs Syndrome and  a few other things and all came back negative. Feeling very blessed.

I gained 6 lbs. at this appt. trying not to freak out since my total weight gain for 20 weeks is 8 lbs. Still I don't like that 6 lbs. is all from one month. My Dr. was happy I caught up a little though.

I bought the cutest pair of silver shoes for my new baby girl yesterday. SO CUTE!!!!

Two BBQ's and swim party to go to today. Gonna be busy fun!

With Ana 6 AM. Hamstings were tight from weights. I am running faster than I was in the first trimester. I am happy about that but still much slower than non pregnant pace.
