We had the preliminary results in less than 48 hours. My heart stopped beating, I&#8217;m sure, when the phone finally rang at 4:30pm on 7th September. I&#8217;d been waiting for the call all day, but suddenly I didn&#8217;t want to take it. I could hardly breath as Alison, one of the Midwives from Kings, told me (in an agonisingly drawn out way) that it was <strong>good news!!! <\/strong>The results had come back negative for Down, Edward&#8217;s, and Pateau&#8217;s Syndromes, X Chromosome disorders and Cystic Fibrosis. Phew, phew and phew again!!\u00a0We had to wait another 2 weeks for final results, but anything else would be very rare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Running has continued to be variable. Sometimes I feel very slow but at other times I feel ok. Interestingly, the longer runs seem much easier &#8211; I feel much better running 7 or 8 miles than 4 or 5. I did the Great North Run last week, a half marathon, and felt fine throughout. Perhaps my body takes much longer to warm up. Motivation to get out is the main problem. By the time I get home from work I am exhausted and the ever-present evening sickness sets in. I can usually force myself to go for a run and, invariably, I feel much better when I&#8217;ve done it. Pace hasn&#8217;t taken too much of a hit. Sometimes I run naked (i.e. without a watch) but most of my timed runs are around 8 min mile pace. My half marathon time last week was 1.44, a bit quicker than 8 minute mile pace, and I had 2 leisurely loo breaks within that time. I do miss racing and training hard, but it&#8217;s also nice to see the world at a more leisurely pace.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;&#8230;.but not necessarily when running! 25th September 2011 Well, it&#8217;s been almost 3 weeks since the CVS test.
