20th January 2012 – 33 weeks pregnant<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well I’m still running…..in a fashion!! Somewhere around the 29 week mark, it was like somebody flicked a switch and running became REALLY hard. I really noticed it on a regular 10k run one Saturday afternoon. It wasn’t that I was getting breathless, and it wasn’t even that my bump was uncomfortable. It was my little old legs – presumably protesting at the extra weight they were having to carry. I had to keep stopping to stretch out the muscles at the front of my lower legs – not easy at the best of times!\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m now over 33 weeks pregnant and, needless to say, things haven’t got any easier. Back then I was running 4 or 5 times a week and covering just over 20 miles per week. These days I aim for 3 runs a week, 3 – 5 miles, and 2 brisk walks of about 3 miles. Some of my runs are better than others in that I run the whole way. Hillier runs include some walking, but I have to say that running uphill is more comfortable than running down. The leg discomfort is still the limiting factor, but this does improve the more ‘warmed up’ I am so, ironically, longer runs are easier than shorter ones.<\/p>\n

So, about 6 weeks to go and still running, but it’s fair to say that I’m a bit worn out and enjoy rest days more than ever before!!<\/p>\n
