I run! To be honest, I haven't since I got my BFP..I'm scared! I workout 4 days a week or so and have been walking the dog. I might run tomorrow, they might make us at the gym cause it's so nice out!
Pre-BFP I ran 5K in about 25 minutes. Now I would probably slow it down, probably to 30 minutes.

I used to be from 5K's to a half marathon, but haven't raced anything this year.I only started about 3 years ago. I'm a soccer player and had a hard adjustment after college when I was no longer playing everyday. I took up running, DH joined me and it became our thing.
I ran 40 miles a week pre BFP at around 8 minute pace. Now I walk around 4 miles a day. I asked the Dr. if running was okay and she said as long as my hr doesn't go above 150. She didn't seemed to happy I was going continue running, so I decided to walk. I don't miss it at all. It's a nice break from the daily grind!!
I was a runner in high school and had just started getting back into it again this fall when I got the BFP. I was doing the couch to 5K program and loved it. My heart rate gets up pretty high though and I wasn't doing it enough to feel like I'm "used to it". I kept getting a cold, or my daughter was sick, or we were busy so I wasn't going every other day as I'd planned. I plan to take it down to week 1 or just do 30 minutes of fast walking a few times a week during pg. Then get back on the saddle 6 weeks PP.
I may talk to my OB and one of the trainers at my gym about what they consider safe for pregnancy when you weren't super active to begin with. I hope to continue doing the weight machines if its "allowed".
I've been a runner for about a year now. I was doing 5ks in my area and started training for a half marathon in Feb when I found out I was pregnant. I had gotten to the point in my training plan where my long run was supposed to be 8 miles and I tested the day before. The half will be my goal post pregnancy.
I started in June and ran my first Half 1 week before I got my BFP. I can't run anymore due to previous complications, so it's been 2 weeks and although I miss it, it's a great reason to have stopped!
Re: Any runners out there? :)
I want to be a runner so bad and was just at the beginning of my training to run a half marathon before I hurt my lower back and then the BFP.
Hopefully I can learn from you runners after the baby so I can whip my butt into shape quickly.

I still plan to get back running this fall.
