20 Weeks Pregnant! How My Training Has Changed
I’ve had quite a few newly pregnant mamas ask me how I changed my training when I found out I was pregnant and what was safe to do or what guidance I received from my doctor. I wanted to start by saying, while I am currently getting a pre/post natal certification at the moment, I am not qualified to provide individual or generic advice on this topic. This blog post will address the changes to my fitness and running routine.
We're having a BABY!
I am still in disbelief that this is happening and I have so much to share. I will try my best not to word vomit and make my thoughts as cohesive as possible. If you read my blog post from April about family planning, you know that I was really struggling with my running and family plans all in the midst of a pandemic.
Plans are Worthless, but Planning is Essential - Family Planning as a Female Athlete
It’s hard to believe that just over 3 weeks ago I would’ve been finishing my first 50K race. I never made it across the start line to that 50K and while we enter week four of quarantining/self-isolation, life looks and feels very different. Running has been filled with anxiety until this week for me. Since the closing of our beaches and trails, its been tough to feel comfortable on new routes dodging people and feeling a bit angry at those who don’t quite understand what social distancing is and why we must do it.
