This is a weekly thread for runners who are due June 2014, that is posted on Mondays. All who run--or who want to start running--are welcome, regardless of mileage, pace, ability, size, shape, or terrestrial status. This is a place to talk about running while pregnant, training, runs, races, gear, recovery, nutrition, and whatever else we can think of.
Anyone who posts here regularly should feel free to start the thread on Mondays if it seems to be missing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ How were your runs this week? Lay it on us...GTKY: Have you ever had a injury that prevented you to run?
Re: *~* Born To Run June Bugs Check In *~*
GTKY: Have you ever had a injury that prevented you to run? This is my 1st injury and I'm hoping it will heal fast! The weather is finally getting a bit warmer here for me to get outside and run in. I wore some Pumas yesterday out for errands and they really aggravated it.
How were your runs this week? Lay it on us…Had a great week! Was able to get out 5x! And by get out I mean hit the treadmill.
GTKY: Have you ever had a injury that prevented you to run? No major injuries here. I deal with a very mild case of PF that causes me to skip days here and there. As long as I stay off it for a day or two it goes away.
Anyone planning any comeback races after baby? I'm trying to figure out what's best for me. I think that training for a fast 5k would be best as it's not much pressure and with the interval training it could help lose the baby weight. There's a half marathon I'd like to do in December but I'm not sure if that would be too much pressure or not. If so, I will wait until Spring 2015. It's hard when you have no idea what to expect!
How were your runs this week? Lay it on us... I got 4 days in last week, for a total of 16.5 miles. Getting closer to my goal of 20 miles/week. I am coming to terms with the fact that I have to give up speed in order to run pain free, now. My hips have started becoming really sore lately and my calves are burning after every run - my friend who is a PT said she thinks my body's compensating for the extra weight and change in center of gravity, thus I'm pushing off harder/differently and causing my calf muscles to work a little harder.
GTKY: Have you ever had a injury that prevented you to run? Yes, in 2012 shortly after my first half marathon, I got a stress fracture in my left tibia as a result of overtraining (I was trying to run a second half marathon 8 weeks later and never allowed my body to rest and heal after the first one). I was benched for 4 months and it was miserable.
GTKY pt. 2: I have my eye on a November half marathon for post-baby, but I won't register until I see how my body copes with the birth and then nursing. A good friend of mine said she wasn't able to get her strength back to run distance until she finished nursing, which I'd never even considered before. If I can't do the half, there is an all-female 10-miler in October I'd like to do as a no-pressure/fun race.
How were your runs this week? Lay it on us... I am pretty excited that I got 4 runs in, 1 outdoors! Total of about 10.5 miles. Hoping I get about the same this week too. Hoping to make it to the gym at least 4 times. I won't lift for a few more days because I had my flu shot on Friday and I don't want to bother it.
GTKY: Have you ever had a injury that prevented you to run? Knock on wood... No. I did get a sore knee pretty often before I started running on the indoor track more regularly though.
GTKY pt. 2 Nothing planned, but I'm in Texas so I wouldn't even attempt a 5k until October at the earliest. I really wanted to get in a 10k before getting pregnant, but I put that on hold... Not that I couldn't, but for right now I'll stick to 5k's.
Keep up the awesome work ladies!!! and @tonyacody06 FX for your toe to heal quickly!!
Good morning and Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend and @tonyacody06- so sorry to hear about your toe, ouch! Hoping you get well soon!
How were your runs this week? Lay it on us...Last week was decent for running, I ran twice but only for 3 miles each time with some walking afterwards to be 4 and 5 miles total. I got in 5 workouts total including some weights, and a family hike yesterday.
GTKY: Have you ever had a injury that prevented you to run? Yes, when I was training for a half and 25k I developed runners knee. I cut back but ran through it, then ended up having to take 3 weeks totally off. A little ITB from time to time, and I have pes cavus (high arches that flatten) and bunions. So I honestly don't have the best physical anatomy to be a distance runner, I only run 3 days per week and have to be really smart about increasing my mileage and pace; keeping up with strength training, stretching, etc. I love it though. That's why triathlons work really well for me- plenty of cross training.

GTKY: Have you ever had a injury that prevented you to run? I got bursitis while training for the Marine Corp Marathon in 2011. I ran a half a month before it and was in horrible pain afterwards. But I got shot up with cortizone in both hips and it was awesome! Got shot up again a couple days before the race and survived in the hip area, but got tendentitus in my feet. Good grief. The bursitis stinks though because I still feel it. So sleeping on my hips all night really takes a toll on me.
GTKY: Nope! ::Knocks on wood::
GTKY #2: I have a 10 mile race I am going to do the 1st weekend of October. I did that same race after my 1st pregnancy and my daughter's birthday is 10 days before my due date, so I don't anticipate any problems getting into shape since I had no problems then. Finding the time to make it to my run club with 2 might be more of a problem though!
I notice that every time after I run now, my crotch area on my pants is wet. You can see it if I'm not wearing black pants. While I'm running, I don't feel anything come out, no stains on my underwear or anything - what is it? Extra crotch sweat? Peeing myself and don't know it? Anyone else get this?
