I roused myself from a prone position late this afternoon to go for a run -- thus squeezing in workout #3 for week 17 at the last possible moment.
I'm really glad I did it. Today, jogging felt almost normal -- as in, similar to what I remember jogging in a non-pregnant state to be.
I did 5.2 km in 32:30 minutes. The last time I did this run, it took about 5 minute longer. I didn't push any harder today; it was just easier. Belly didn't feel heavy, breathing wasn't laboured, legs had lots of energy. I did have to go to the bathroom the whole way, but I'm getting used to that.
So, in general: yay for today!
It will be tricky to get in my 3-4 in the coming week, as we are taking a mini-holiday to go to Florida for a few days. Maybe I'll bring my runners and explore the gulf coast a little. (At my pace, a very little.)
