Although my first trimester isn&#8217;t over I&#8217;ve been looking forward to the 2nd trimester (the so-called &#8216;honeymoon of pregnancy&#8217;) for some time.

All my runs seem hard &#8211; no matter how easy I try to make them. I get particularly breathless going up anything that remotely resembles a hill and my legs feel that they have been borrowed from somebody else. My (very) sore chest is a huge (literally) inconvenience when it comes to running, and despite the scales telling me otherwise, I feel much heavier than normal. Getting out for a run hasn&#8217;t been easy either. To say I&#8217;m exhausted is an understatement, so it&#8217;s very tempting to put my feet up after work and do nothing. So far, that hasn&#8217;t happened, but I have substituted my long run with a long bike ride. My weekly mileage has dropped from 45 miles to about 30 (in a good week), and my easy paced runs (i.e. <strong>all<\/strong> of them) are 7.45 &#8211; 8 min mile pace, (although I&#8217;ve stopped wearing a watch to take the pressure off!) I did manage a sub 34 min 5 miles at 7 weeks, but that was all downhill. Actually, it&#8217;s been quite literally downhill since then.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17th August 2011 According to a recent scan, I am 10 weeks + 3 days pregnant.
