Nathan Fall 2015 December 13 - December 19, 2015 30 Weeks Pregnant Sunday December 13 - 2 miles Monday December 14 - 3 miles Wednesday December 16 - 5 miles Friday December 18 - 6 miles Total Miles - 16 miles Sunday was a beautiful day - more like a spring day than an almost Christmastime day. I was too nauseous in the morning before church to run, but Makayla and I went for a short run in the afternoon. It was around 60 degrees. Since I still wasn't eating much, Monday's run was short and slow too. Nathan had surgery on Wednesday to put in a G-tube. Being in the hospital all day and overnight Tuesday didn't give me a lot of energy for a five mile run on Wednesday, but I managed it. I tired to pick up the pace on Friday, but 6 miles was still done slowly. The entire month of December hasn't been great for running. I've been terribly slow, especially compared to November.

December 6 - December 12, 2015 29 Weeks Pregnant Sunday December 6 - 3 miles Tuesday December 8 - 4 miles Thursday December 10 - 5 miles Total Miles - 12 miles I was scheduled to run 6 miles on Saturday but I woke up and immediately started throwing up. I couldn't get out of bed most of the day. On Friday we went Christmas shopping in Pittsburgh with my dad. We were gone from 10am to 11pm. I don't know if that's what did me in or not. Anyway, my goal is to get my long run up to 8 miles before the baby is born, but that's not looking possible at this point. Not only is it hard to run when I am nauseated, but also when I am nauseous all the time, I'm not eating and if I'm not eating I don't have the strength or energy to run.

November 22 - 28 2015 Makayla and I at the Greencastle Turkey Trot 2015 27 Weeks Pregnant Sunday November 22 - 3 miles Tuesday November 24 - 5 miles Thursday November 26 - 4 miles Friday November 27 - 5 miles Total Miles - 17 miles This week was the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot (1 mile kids' run and 5K). I woke up Thursday morning at 5am and felt like throwing up, but I couldn't. So I laid in bed for the next two hours wishing I would just throw up and feel better. I debated whether to run the race or not considering how nauseated I was, but in the end decided I would just try. I was going to be nauseous whether I ran or not, so I might as well run! Makayla and I ran the kids' 1 mile. The weather was great - about 40 degrees or so. When we started, I felt really bad and I know I held her back. As we ran I just encouraged her to find her pace so she could run the entire race and not sprint and then walk. To my surprise she ended up running the entire mile without ...
