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.

So here it is.... I am EXPECTING my 4th child. I am 11 weeks  and due in November. I have been suffering through the last 5 weeks trying to run but I am not doing so well. I am nauseous 90% of my life right now. I can not drag myself out of bed to run in the mornings and when I run at night I have heartburn like crazy. When I do run my pace is dog slow and feels almost pointless to even keep trying.

It is killing me seeing everyone else train and get ready for spring and summer races. I am Jealous. I know it is stupid to be Jealous but November is feeling like and eternity away.

So all you mom's out there... HELP!

What do I do?

I am super excited to have this baby and finish our family but it is hard to adjust to a new life.

On TM. Then lower body weights.

I read a few articles on Runners world.com that helped me to not feel so wimpy. I think the thing that got me thinking the most is that "when you get pregnant your running changes over-night!" I for sure feel that way and it helps to know others do to.

Blessing: The Internet.... I find so much helpful info there.

6 With Monica. Upper body weights. Felt really good this  morning.

Now that I have changed my relationship and attitude with running I am not so frustrated I can not run like I could before I was pregnant.

Blessing: Landscapers'... they are working on my back yard right now!! I can't wait to have a fun place for my kids to play!

With Ana, she is a running friend who is 2 weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy. It is nice to have someone to workout with and whine too.
