Runner's World Interview with Paula and Kara

I just finished reading their interview online and it's pretty good. Just makes me feel kinda crappy about not running, but I will get over it. I had really big goals of running this pregnancy and now that it's gone to the crapper I feel like I am a shammer, etc.

Interestingly enough Paula did point out that she learned during pregnancy #1 that using the elliptical really stretches out the sacral area so maybe that's why I had that issue back in July since that's what I had been using. It's too late to start running now but good to know for future, possible pregnancies. Now if I only had access to an anti-gravity treadmill and an underwater treadmill. Wouldn't that be nice :-)

I have been swimming and it feels great. I will never confess how far I am swimming or how fast I get it done. That is way too embarrassing. But I try to swim and keep the heart rate up for about 30-40 minutes a few times a week and that seems to be enough for me. Although, it is getting more difficult to look at myself in a swimsuit. The 'ol ass and legs aren't as trim as they normally are. Last pregnancy I had no issues getting fatter; not so with this pregnancy. Putting on the fat has been really difficult mentally. Definitely not difficult to put on though, ha! It seems I can't get away from the pound a week gain. At this rate I should gain around 30-35 pounds with this pregnancy. Hopefully it isn't too hard to lose again.
