  Morning! I'm a day late (and always a dollar short :P)

  
  

  My week:

  Mon(yesterday): painted the nursery and then walked 9 holes on the golf course

  Tue: run 2-3 miles (depending on time)

  Wed: 5k hike (pretty easy with a few co-workers who NEVER exercise) and then 2-3 mile run

  Thur: Walk 9 holes of golf

  Fri: not sure yet, maybe a rest day

  Sat: COLOR RUN 5K!!! (Pretty excited if you couldn't tell )

  Sun: Walk with my mom at the park 

  
  

  Feeling Good: I'm still feeling pretty good when it comes to being active. I have found that I am running less, not because it hurts, but because after the mini at the beginning of the month, I haven't signed up for anymore races. Signing up for something and being financially committed is what keeps me going. I definitely need to sign up for some more races this summer! I don't want to regret not keeping up with my running when there's no reason not to! 

  
  

  Not so hot: The few times that I have run since this mini have yet to become "painful" or difficult", but my bladder is is not so fond of all the action. I would like to get a belly band soon and see if that helps. Also, I must agree with you ajhamb, lung capacity is not near what it used to be! I just try not to get frustrated with it and remember there is a REASON it's becoming difficult

  My running has tanked with this groin issue that isn't resolving with regular visits to a chiro.
  
  Sunday: I did 4 miles and felt pretty good about it.
  Monday: I did 3 and it sucked
  Tuesday: I tried 3 and could hardly move, so I walked with 5-pound weights in each hand for 2 miles. I'm hobbling around badly now.
  Wednesday: If I CAN walk a few miles, I will, otherwise, I'll hop on the bike.
  Thursday: Flying to SF.
  Friday: Probably walking a lot.
  Saturday: Walking.
  Sunday: SF Diva Half Marathon (I'm dropping down to the 5K at the EXPO).

  Hi ladies! I'm new to the bump and looking for some motivation in the exercise department. Mind if I join your group?

  
  

  I've always been really active and was doing really well for a while, but I got derailed a little over a month ago. I've been running a couple of time a week but want to increase and really get healthy again. I'm trying to do it a little gradually since I haven't been super active.

  
  

  So for this week:

  
  

  S: 30 min run

  M: rest (leisure walk)
  

  T: 30 min run and light weights
  

  W: Yoga
  

  Th: 30 min run and light weights
  

  F: rest
  

  S: 30 min run

  
  

  Feeling Good: Pretty much feeling great. I got new shoes this weekend so joint pain from old, worn-out shoes is gone. 

  
  

  Not So Hot: I'm definitely not as fast in my running. I feel heavier (which I am) and just out of shape in general but that's why I'm here! Sleeping is starting to get irritating since I used to always sleep in my back and now I can't. Makes my hips and back ache more.

  I'm travelling this week, so workouts will be harder.  I hope walking around the City counts.

  
  

  M - walked 2 miles to the pool and swam laps for 30 min

  T - travelling... will try to do a the Tracy Anderson workout DVD later tonight if I catch up enough with work

  W - Elliptical in the morning (30-45 min)

  Th - Strength training

  F - Elliptical in the morning (30-45 min)

  Sa - rest (baby shower in NY and travelling back home)

  Su - something

  
  

  I got into the pool this week and it felt great to swim some laps.  I'm glad I have a new activity as I've decided not to run anymore.  I ran my last miles the weekend before this last.  I had some pain in my tummy as I was running, but it went away when I would walk intermittently.  Then that night and the next 2 days I felt awful.  My stomach felt very sore and bruised and the RLP ramped up.  I took it as a sign that running was done for me for this pregnancy.
