I was cleaning the lower shelf of my nightstand recently and found three magazines that have basically become cushions for whatever pregnancy/baby book I am reading at the moment. Let’s see if you can determine when life changed with this pregnancy by what I found…

July/August 2009
This year was not AWESOME for the endurance events but doing some were do-able. I had a pretty weird illness March-May but mid-May I did a half-marathon then on Memorial Day a 10K (and I did my level I 200-hr yoga certification January-May). Right after that I developed a respiratory infection, then in August my husband accidentally gave me a concussion in his sleep (bony elbow to my head) that I discovered the extent of one mile into an Irongirl 5K. Shortly after I did that race I did the Muddy Buddy with a girlfriend (just gotta say obstacle courses, mountain biking, running, and mud pits are FUN!!). Though I was not the fastest at these events they were a lot of fun and I enjoy doing them. However they seem like a lifetime ago.
Less than 6 weeks before spermination
Lol – my side table looks the same only the mags are from October 2004… My MIL laughed when she heard that & bought me a subscription to Runner's World to kick my butt back out there!
Sorry about that concussion. I'm a horrible person. 🙁 I will be supporting you in your races this year (whether you're running or walking) just as I have in the past. You're an amazing, strong, beautiful woman.
If "futurepapa" is supportive you should have enough time to do what you want! I'm only 4 months postpartum and I could train for a half-marathon if I were fit enough. DH and I have a schedule worked out with the baby where I have some free time on the weekends and if I feel like getting up early enough to train I could. My full level of fitness has not returned yet though so I'm more in 5K mode right now. I'm planning a March half but I will probably run 10K and walk the rest.
