lack luster blog

I wish I had something fun to post about but I don't.  I've been sick for about 11 days and have only ran once during that time.  I had one trip to the gym where I used the AMT machine & did some weight lifting and two power walks.  All were hard.  It is a combination of my horrible cold and the discomfort I have been feeling.  I really hoped to be able to say I ran up until I delivered, but now I am not so sure that will happen.  I will give it a shot tomorrow or Sunday, very slow & very easy!!  I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow so I should be happy I can do any form of exercise at this point.

On another note, a ton of running friends and my dad are running The Qualifier marathon this Sunday.  I really wanted to be there to cheer them on, but I am staying home.  I know a few, including my dad, are going after BQ's.  And wouldn't you know it, it's supposed to reach 83 degrees and high humidity that day.  My dad can't win!  First dealing w/ the awful conditions in Boston and deciding to run smart versus pushing for a BQ and now this.  One good thing is that the start times are no where near as late as Boston.  It starts at 7:30am, almost 3 hours earlier than Boston started so hopefully that will be a positive factor.  I want my dad to BQ so badly!  I can't run Boston next year without!  I mean, I will if I have to, but I would prefer him to be there too!!

Anyway, that's about it.  See, I told you I have nothing fun to post about.  I will leave you with this gem.  Taken Wednesday after a trip to the gym.  I am huge.  :-)
