Can I just say that when you're pregnant, you're suddenly a target for inappropriate comments and jokes. It's very strange, it's like when you're pregnant people think that you're suddenly void of all feelings.
Just last week, someone said to me "You're awfully big for 8 weeks." I was embarrassed and responded with, "well, I am actually 9 1/2 weeks and I do have a lot of bloating around my tummy." She then responds with, "What are you having triplets?"
Oh no..not twins..but triplets. And yes, it was from a female....a mother in fact. I've also received wonderful comments about what I eat as well. Good times.
When did this type of behavior become ok? I mean, seriously, when is it EVER OK to comment about someone's size or what they eat? The answer is NEVER. Unless you're my physician or nutritionist and practice what you preach...you have no right to make comments.....ever!
Ok, besides my little rant, my morning sickness has come back. It usually occurs around 2 pm and lasts for a few hours and then it rears it's ugly head right after dinner. My energy level is getting a little better, but doing physical things really wipes me out.
On Running:
My runs have been ok. I have days where I am able to run during lunch without an issue and then there are days when I have to walk most of the second half. I only ran 6 miles on Sat which was already very challenging. I am definitely not going to run the 20 miles this Saturday with the rest of the team.
For those that have never run a marathon, the 20 miles is the last long run before the race. You run it to ensure that you have the endurance and the will to complete the marathon. It does take a toll on you both physically and emotionally.
Since I have run a few marathons and done a good share of 20 milers....I will sit this one out. I don't have the strength to put my body through that right now. Also, this long run will be in Monterey, which is a few hours away. After a run, I like to shower and crash. I will not be able to sustain any sort of energy after the run to be able to make the drive home. Being that I am always exhausted now, it doesn't make sense to wear my body out.
