What's everyone been up to this week?

As usual, I've been up to exactly nothing all week, although yesterday was gorgeous and I did get a long walk in downtown. I'm determined to do a real workout this weekend.

I ran a 10k on Sunday! I felt surprisingly really good and actually ran a good time! I was 13th overall female! Baby boy has now been with me for two 5ks and two 10ks!

@babyrummom That's amazing, great job! I did a couple of 5ks during my last pregnancy, but haven't been running lately. One of my coworkers is training for a marathon and he's making me really miss it. One of my big goals once this baby's here and we're a little more settled is to get back to it.

@aresee that’s awesome! I have enjoyed the pregnant races because I don’t put any pressure on myself to run fast and I actually end up still doing pretty well compared to my normal time! This was probably my last one until baby comes though, as there aren’t many winter races around here!

My sister-in-law who recently had a baby let me borrow her belly support for running. I’m hoping it helps with not feeling like I have to pee when immediately starting to run and to support my belly as it grows. I tried it out today for a 3 mile treadmill run and it worked out okay. Have any of you tried one of these?

@babyrummom I didn't use one of those with my last pregnancy, but it does look like it would help, especially as you get bigger. I would wonder a little about how hot it would be, but at least we won't be pregnant in the summer this time.
