4th November 2011
This week has been hard. After a week off work for half term, a week back at work tested my resolve. I’ve been denied my daily afternoon nap and running has been restricted to evenings which, due to daylight saving, are currently dark, damp, and miserable in the UK. It’s hard to drag myself outside for a run if I’m having to go solo, but much easier if I have company. I enjoyed a midweek evening run along the sea-front with my husband – a favourite route of ours, and went along to the running club time trial on Thursday. I ran the opposite way round to everyone else to ensure that I didn’t get caught up in racing!! I still find ‘taking it easy’ a mental challenge, but my body imposes it’s own helpful limits. This week I have managed my usual 25 – 30 miles and an ultrasound scan on Friday indicated that all was well with the baby. The sonographer commented on the amount of movement, which is a good sign – but hopefully not indicative of activity levels after birth. There is certainly a great deal going on in there, but I find being beaten up from the inside very reassuring.
