I thoroughly enjoyed my 5 mile &#8216;run&#8217; in the spring sunshine today.

Even walking was uncomfortable when I set out today, however. The baby&#8217;s head is well and truly engaged which causes an interesting sensation when in an upright position. I walked for about half a mile and thought I&#8217;d give running a try. I broke into a gentle jog. The discomfort in my pelvis didn&#8217;t really get any worse, but I had the constant feeling of needing to empty my bladder! My lower legs were also quite uncomfortable &#8211; they are getting a bit swollen these days!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway &#8211; I&#8217;m making observations, not complaining! I completed the 5 mile circuit by marching up the hills and jogging the downhill and flat sections. It took me more than 20 minutes longer than it would&#8217;ve taken 9 months ago, but I took in much more of the scenery and sunshine than ever before. \u00a0I also beat Graham back and bagged the bath first &#8211; bonus!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>38 weeks + pregnant.
