the run of death...


Tonight's run was death! I felt like I had to fight every urge inside my body just to keep going. I think it all started today when I went clothes shopping. That is not a good idea. I never like shopping for clothes but doing it while you're chubby is so depressing.

Also, I weigh EXACTLY what I weighed one month ago. It all came crashing down when I felt like I was losing my milk and then went out of town. I just feel like the wind went out of my sails and I lost some of my ferocity. But I have decided I am no longer going to focus so much on numbers and focus more on working up to 25 miles a week. I read once that you see real weight loss when you are running that much. It worked after I had Elijah. And since I ran about 7 miles this week I've got a ways to go! But I'm still doing my weight watcher's too.

Also, I'm not sure if I'm going to do that triathlon. Trust me, I want to but I picked it back when I thought we could stay at Mike's aunt's house in Kamas(where the race is) but since then his Grandma broke her hip and had to move into his aunt's house making no room for my family. I just don't know how we're going to drag the kids up there early that morning and have Mike watch all four boys during the race. And I can't leave them home since I have to breastfeed the baby. Bummer, eh? Hmm...we'll see.

There is a great triathlon sprint in Orem the beginning of November. IT is a great beginner race. I wish I could do it again this year it was so much fun. You should check it out. IT would also give you some more training time and asher won't need to eat as often by then.

I believe you can do that triathlon- and watching four boys during a race is totally doable, bring food and distractions just like anywhere else. Stay strong, you'll get there!!

Holly - your comment inspired my husband and we are no recommitted to the race. So, good job!

p.s. How did you find this blog?

there should have been a "w" on that no...meaning we are now recommitted to the race.

Megan- huzzah! Wonderful, I feel we should have been committed long ago, haha! I have been a lurker for some time, I think one day I searched for 'pregnant and runner', and found you! I am enjoying watching your progress from afar!
