Maybe I should update?

Well, there just isn't a lot to say! No races, no new goals, no new training programs just me getting bigger!! I am still running, if you can call it running. I shuffle my feet for about 20 minutes a few times a week. I'm slow and it hurts but what can I say? I'm 32 weeks pregnant! I still love exercise. I can't wait to run not pregnant. I think its going to feel so freeing! I do a little Zumba, I swim every now and then and I even though I don't go on any bike riding exercises I ride my bike with my kids. I take Lainy to school on my bike and rode to the kid's school a couple times. Its hard to stay active but I love it when I do. As of now, I've gained 25lbs which is FANTASTIC for me! I've always gained 50-60lbs. Even if I tried I don't think I could do that at this point in this pregnancy although there is a part of me that is afraid I'm going to ruin it these last few weeks. I had Eve snap a picture of me after a "run" the other day, just to have prof that I was still getting out there.

I feel good, as good as I can feel pregnant. Sleeping is getting harder, but it seems easier then past pregnancies. I still wear mostly pre-pregnancy clothes although there is a large part of my closet I can't squeeze into. Everything about this pregnancy has been easier then the past four. Except for leg cramps. I've always gotten bad leg cramps in my calves while I slept in the last 4 pregnancies, but its out of control this time! Not just while I sleep and not just in my calves. I get them in my outer thigh, inner thigh, hips and even my big toes! I got a hip cramp so bad in McDonalds the other day I thought I was going to hit the floor! I don't know what the deal was with that.

All in all. A fit pregnancy is WAY better then a lazy eating whatever I want pregnancy. I feel great, I'm not near as tired and I think its going to be great until the end! I hope, fingers crossed!
