runblondie26, how are you feeling? Is babyblondie behaving himself these days? Cook babyblondie, cook!

Aww, thanks for asking. He's kicking away as I type this.

I had an appointment with my regular OB after my trip to L&D last week, who confirmed I'm pretty much done with running. I can still ellipticise, bike, and walk, as long as I pay close attention to my hydration levels.

We're busy getting the house ready and doing a some last minute traveling while we can. I've also learned to go of some of my pride, and I'm a little less stubborn about asking for help now. We did get that that cleaning lady!

Otherwise, when it comes to running, I'm living vicariously through you ladies for the next few months. It should be wonderfully hot and humid for the Area 13.1 half coming up

Yay! Glad to hear everything is going well, and good call on the cleaning lady!! This sounds like a fabulous reason to stay out of the summer heat. I'm sure once he's here, you'll be back & even stronger in no time.

I'm terrified of that half. lol I think we momentarily lost our minds when we signed up. The good news is that we're definitely training in similar conditions, but I booked our hotel room yesterday with an intense feeling of dread. ;)I figure if I can at least come close to my current PR (which was done in cooler weather & much lower humidity,) that will be a good sign that I've gotten stronger, even if my time doesn't show an improvement.

Glad to hear things are going well! If it makes you feel any better I think my running days are coming to an end too due to hip and SI issues . It's too hot anyways!
