A hiatus of sorts!

The last time I ran, I was up in DC. I had a magnificent run where I happened to find a cool trail that meandered through woods, streams and open fields of deer. And then as the sun went down, lots of mosquitoes... But, it felt great to get out and run somewhere other than Florida.

Then, we were off in West Virginia visiting some friends and ran along the river in Charleston. It was a nice day, not too hot but still warm. Can I tell you how much I hated my run? It was only supposed to be 3 miles or so and it felt like 20. I even started 2:1 intervals which I haven't done since I started! I just felt like death.

Discouraged from my run, I gave it a rest for a day. My dh and I were talking about more personal matters and the next day found out that we were pregnant! OOOOOHHHHHH, so that is why running sucked the life out of me the day before! Needless to say, my running ended on that day.

Now many will say they ran up to their last few weeks, but I have to be honest, that is not me. Right now I can barely get my butt of the couch. I have about zero energy and my main goal is to get up in the morning! Every day I have a little conversation in my head about "this is the day when I will walk a mile!" then find myself crawling into bed at night without walking. Oh well, I am not going to beat myself up about it. This too shall pass.

I am thrilled about this new adventure we will be on. Baby #3 will be a welcomed addition into our home. But for now, running will have to take a backseat. I will miss all of my online and IRL running community for a bit but I will be back! You all are a great bunch!

Oh, and just in case you were wondering? My due date is Jan. 10th, 2010. Yes, it is the same day as the Disney Marathon that I was registered for. There is always next year!
