It's depressing.  On the positive side, we had family photos done by Kara Pittman on Saturday. It was cold at 40 degrees but it could have been colder! Nathan wasn't happy about any of it and cried the whole time. When we got home and he woke up from his nap, he had a fever.

January 3 - January 9, 2016 33 Weeks Pregnant Sunday January 3 - 3 miles Monday January 4 - 4 miles Wednesday January 6 - 5 miles Friday January 8 - 5 miles Total Miles - 17 miles The pain is getting to me and the slow pace isn't helping. On the plus side, the weather has been so good. No ice or snow to worry about :)

December 20, 2015 - January 2, 2016 31 and 32 Weeks Pregnant Sunday December 20 - 2 miles Monday December 21 - 3 miles Wednesday December 23 - 5 miles Friday December 25 - 6 miles Sunday December 27 - 3 miles Monday December 28 - 4 miles Wednesday December 30 - 5 miles Friday January 1 - 6 miles Total Miles - 16 miles and 18 miles Had a great run on Christmas day - it was warm around 60 degrees! Christmas Eve was even warmer at 70 degrees! Ran 6 miles on January 1 while in WV. A dog chased me and I had to have Dan come and pick me up. After driving away from the dog, he dropped me off and I resumed my run. Still running slowly. My upper, inner thighs and pelvic area start hurting after about 2 miles and then they hurt badly the rest of the day. Anytime I try to pick up the pace, the pain is worse.

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.
