9min running, 2 min walking x 2; 9min running

We went to a park that has a paved trail that loops around a playground. My thought was that we'd run and then DS could play. Of course, as soon as we pulled up and he saw the slides and swings I was a goner. Nothing but 31 minutes of constant whining about wanting to go the playground!

Another run with DS in the jogging stroller. There was a light drizzle and no one was out. It made me feel like a real runner again to be out in the "elements". I've spent so much of this pregnancy on the treadmill I was beginning to feel like a wuss. Nope, I still got it :)

I dusted off the jogging stroller and took DS out to enjoy the unseasonably nice weather. He had a blast chomping on crackers, slurping from his sippy and quacking at ducks. I, on the other hand, was sweating, huffing and puffing, and feeling the desire to find the nearest restroom. Nevertheless, it felt good to be back out with my little running buddy.

Easy spin

I've noticed that my rear end is increasingly sore while on the bike. There are probably two explanations:
1. My hindquarters are so humungous they don't fit on the seat properly
2. The baby is placing a lot of pressure on my sensitive areas

Of course, in my case, the soreness has to be due to #2 :) (Ok, yes I admit I am in denial that I look like a linebacker from behind...)

Bibs?

RW.com asks "Bibs: What's the Point?":

My guesses to why we still get bibs in a chip timed race:
  • The race photographers association has a powerful union
  • If you are paying $100 for a race, you better get more than an over-sized cotton t-shirt
  • The race directors think it's funny to see everyone sporting band-aids on their fingers race morning from nerves-induced safety pin stabbings from those trying to affix their bibs

I started a new job today. There's nothing like trying to learn and get acclimated to a new job and company with a maternity leave looming right around the corner. I feel like I have a 20 miler to do but only the time alloted for 15. I've got a lot of miles ahead of me but I have to do them quick because my time is limited!
