14 weeks!! and counting! I have made it through the first trimester which I will tell you folks has been no easy feat. This pregnancy has been pretty tough. I was sick the first time with my son, but not like this. I have spent just about every day feeling miserable and taking anti-nausea meds like their candy. It's been tough keeping up with running while I have felt so sick so I really needed some sort of pick me up.
That is why I was so excited when 3 weeks ago I saw the tweet from Another Mother Runner about the Virtual 5K training plan finishing on Mother's Day. The run/walk cycles are perfect for me right now when I am just happy to be getting out there, but don't have the energy to full on give it.
This is what my 14 weeks looks like :) Got a bump already. Way quicker than the first time around. Also I'm rockin this Athleta running skirt and I love it!!
The first 3 weeks have flown by and it wasn't until this last week when things started to get a little tough. I will keep plugging along even if it means I have to go slower than slow. As long as I am still getting out there!!
Week 4 starts tomorrow. I am using the training plan in one of my favorite books.
Have any of you used any of these training plans? I have read this book from front to back and enjoy all the antidotes and personal stories. I love knowing there is a whole community of mother runners out there.
Hope everyone sleeps good tonight!! Day 1 of week 4 of training starts tomorrow! Also I go back to work tomorrow.
Anyone have any tips for making running while nauseous easier?
Anyone else diving into a training plan?
Damn my link didn't work. The skirt is the warrior sport skirt by athlete and it is awesome.
