Hooray!

I finished my half marathon yesterday! I felt great and I could tell that the baby loved every second of it. We ate lots of bagels after. I am feeling the 13.1 miles with a few sore muscles today but no other problems. My doctor telling me that she "feels... that running that far while pregnant is not in anyone's best interest" is a crock and very old school. I was over trained for this event and could have kept running. I am going to continue running as long as my body is up to it. Scaling back to 12-16 miles a week for now and going on how my body feels.

Have a good week!

Great job!  I think you can definitely keep running as long as you listen to your body and stay hydrated.  I'm a long distance runner and completed a few half marathons during the first trimester.  I'm still running now and finished a 10k last Sunday.  Of course, I'm much slower now, but I love it and I try to be really careful!
