30 Weeks

Woohoo! 30 weeks along and only 10 to go! At this point, Ryder has reached 3 pounds. Yesterday I set out for a morning run - both for the exercise and to see if I could still do it (I've mostly been walking over my lunch hour or doing the elliptical at work). And even though it was tough, it went great. If you haven't tried running while pregnant, it pretty much feels like running while wearing a backpack filled with sand and weights strapped to your ankles...uphill. So why do I still do it? Since in-line skating, mountain biking, wakeboarding and so many other things I love are not allowed during pregnancy, running is one of the few activities that I normally enjoyed that I can still safely do now.
