    Good morning!  Had a great week of exercise but now dealing with some hip pain.  This is how my week went:

    Mon- 45 min run/walk (10 min run/2 min walk)

    Tue- 60 min walk

    Wed- 50 min run/walk

    Thurs- 60 min walk

    Fri- 45 min run/walk

    Everything felt just fine, but when I got out of the shower after my run of Friday I could not stand on one foot on my left side or I would get hip pain.  I took Sat and Sun off workouts and took my dog for a 20 min walk each day.  It seems like the more time I am on my feet, the worse the hip pain becomes.  The 20 min walks even hurt it.  So I guess I am stuck on the bike until further notice :(

    My favorite distance when not pregnant is probably the half marathon.  Training doesn't take up too much time and the race isn't too long or too short.

    How were your runs this week? Lay it on us... This week went well - I hit all my planned runs for the week, and my 5-miler on Saturday went really well. We had perfect running weather (high 40's at the start, mid 50's by the finish) and it was sunny and beautiful. It was nice racing "for fun" and enjoying the course a bit more than I usually do when running for time. I finished in 51:47 which put me at around 10:12/mile pace. I am more than happy with that!

    GTKY: What is your favorite running distance?  Probably the half marathon. It's enough distance to make me feel accomplished afterwards, but doesn't suck up my whole life with training like the marathon did. ;)

    How were your runs this week? Lay it on us... nada :( 

    Tues- Walked for 7hrs straight at the Rodeo. 
    Wed/Thurs- Had BH contractions pretty consistently every few minutes both days despite hydration. 
    Sun-Walked 3.5hrs straight again at the Rodeo. 

    I would have run this afternoon but my DH had to work a full day instead of 1/2 thanks to a mandatory meeting. 

    GTKY: What is your favorite running distance? I'm still a newbie here. I like my 4.1 & 4.7mi distances. It is long enough to feel worth it but not so far to be completely draining. My furthest has be 7mi and I was just having a great run that day (prior to pregnancy). I'm at the point now where I think I need to cut back to the 5k distance b/c my recovery sucks now.

    I'm pleased with how the runs went this week:
    Monday-Felt awful, all day.  Made it to the gym, ran/walked 2.5 miles (ran 1.5)
    Tuesday- Felt awesome, ran 3 miles
    Friday- Ran 3 miles
    Saturday- Ran 2.5 
    Total running was 10 miles, so thats kinda been my goal.  This week, fingers crossed, the peeing thing wasn't as big of an issue, which was nice.

    I'm not that into long distances, I normally don't run over 5 at a time.  My most common run is around 3 miles, and I've only done 5k's.  3 miles before and during pregnancy just feels like a good amount to me. Not taking up my whole day, but feeling like I've done SOMETHING!

    Keep it up ladies! :)

    Runs/exercise last week were okay.  I am definitely feeling my motivtion waning, but trying to keep it up because I do feel better the more active I am.  Anyway, my week in workouts looked like this:

    Mon- rest; 30 min powerwalk at work

    Tues-  Ran 2 miles, walked 2 miles; 30 min powerwalk at work

    Wed- 45 min treadmill incline walk; 30 min powerwalk at work

    Thurs- rest; 30 min powerwalk at work

    Fri- Run 2 miles, walk 2 miles; 30 min powerwalk at work

    Sat- nada- chasing my kids around and a nice afternoon nap, much needed  :)

    Sun- cleaned house (vaccuuming, 2 bathrooms, copious laundry), lots of errands and shopping.  I had good intentions of hitting up the gym but was too tired when all was said and done.

    My "sweet spot" for training runs is 5-6 miles.  I feel like I just start to feel warmed up after 4 miles, and 7 or more feels like getting into long run territory for me.  As far as race distance, I'd also agree and say the half.  I have a harder time pacing for shorter races and always always always go out too fast.  LOL.

    hey runners!!

    How were your runs this week? Lay it on us...
    i had a great week of running and working out.  we did a timed 1/2 mile at my gym and i finished in 3:30! i was super proud of my preggers self :)

    *funny story, i went for a run yesterday and it was laundry day.  i had to wear a tank that was shorter and what i wore before getting knocked up.  it kept riding up and showing my belly!  by mile 2 i really didnt care and let it hang out.  the double takes from cars driving by just made laugh :)
    GTKY: What is your favorite running distance?  
    favorite race is def the 10K.  i love that its not too long so i can really try to push myself and run hard.  for my non race runs, i love 4-5 miles.  while preggers, i keep it around 3 ;)

    Hi there ladies! I've never posted on this thread because I am on modified bedrest which excluded working out but I am a runner as well. My friend shared a cute website with me for baby onesies. Sorry if it's a duplicate and you've seen it before, they are adorable for runner mommies! Enjoy your running ladies! I sure do miss it :)

     Last week was a rough week for running. I had really bad insomnia and was so exhausted that it was hard to run. I did manage to exercise and just swapped runs for walks some days. I ended the week feeling good and had 32 miles. Less than I have been doing, but I'm ok with it. 

    GTKY: What is your favorite running distance?  
    Favorite race is the half marathon. Favorite just for run distance is between 8-10 miles. 

    Random: 
    I noticed on the days I just walked my appetite was much MUCH lower than on days I run. After runs, I can eat for the next 3 hours and still not feel full. I'm wondering if it would help me not gain so much weight if I cut back on running and did more gentle workouts more often. The problem is just that I love running and love how it makes me feel mentally and physically.

    @Kinepela7 - Jealous! I wish I got out there as much as you this week!

    How were your runs this week? Lay it on us...
    My "runs" were mediocre at best. I am lucky to jog a half-mile before the pressure on my bladder is so heavy and uncomfortable that I need to walk. I am doing a 5k on Sunday that should be very interesting! I know I shouldn't feel embarrased but I do. I find the hardest part right now to accept my body slowing down! I always expected I'd enjoy the day when I had an excuse to take it easy- now here I am being nuts! lol
    GTKY: What is your favorite running distance?  
    I like 4 miles. :) Feels good because your body has warmed up and pushed past the tough spots. But for a race, a 10K-12K feels like an adequate challenge for me!
