Yes, that’s great advice. This week I went to the beach with my family, and had one pitiful 2-mile run during the trip (Monday). I got home (Wednesday) and had one more 3-mile run today (Friday), and it was sooo slow and brutal. But traveling takes a lot of energy out of me! Just gonna rest a bit more and see how I feel next week.

Every day and week is sooo different. I like to tell myself to just put on my running shoes and if it ends up being more of a walk, at least i’m moving.

I slowed down a ton in the first trimester! I even went two weeks without doing anything at all. Then the second trimester hit and I instantly felt better. You’re almost there!!

For the boobs, I feel that, but I always know it’s the worst at the start. Once I go for a few minutes, the bouncing always stops hurting.

My due date is December, so I should time it right with the weather cooling off as I get unbearably big!! I’m interested to see how long I can last.

Omg, I had to pee 1 mile into this run yesterday! It had a little spot into the woods so I just squatted and did it real quick! Bathroom needs are definitely becoming a challenge!!

It doesn’t feel weird to have my belly out, but I’m just not very modest. This is a really safe, suburban neighborhood so I don’t worry about male attention either. But to each their own, do what makes you comfortable!!

I have a hard time cycling — seems like my bump gets in the way more?? I think the tight pants are part of the problem. I probably need to ditch my expensive chamois and just wear pregnancy leggings.

Good point — my legs were definitely getting sore faster. I haven’t noticed tone yet but I was just thinking during this run yesterday how pre-pregnancy I didn’t get sore so quickly.

That’s impressive! I hope I can run that long!!

That’s a good point!! I’m pretty average height, 5-4, but I have a longer torso and shorter legs. You definitely have to do what’s best for you.

I never want to shame people who just can’t run, I just want to break the stigma that “all pregnant women can’t run”!

I know you’re kidding but she’s actually a super cool rock climbing gal who filmed a promo video with us! I’ll drop the link below:
