So I fully intend to run the marathon that I've spent the last 8 months or so planning for. Do you all think that's crazy? After searching countless sites on the Internet (cause you know the Internet it where you should get all your medical advice) I'm thinking it will be ok. I'll be seeing my new doc on Thursday and already have my argument ready. Here it is:
1. I will listen to my body and stop if I feel the slightest bit off.
2. I will eat enough calories.
3. I will stay extra hydrated, even more so than normal.
4. I will slow down and walk every so often.
5. I will make sure I don't get out of breathe.
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope she gives me the green light. I got out this morning and ran 5 miles in about 50 minutes and felt great. I was really trying to slow my pace down and take it easy and was surprised to see that I was still running around 10/min miles. Even if I get denied permission to run the full marathon I'm still going to continue running as long as I can during the pregnancy. I've heard it can ward of morning sickness and since I get m/s something fierce, i'm sold.
Oh, and we told the in-laws today. They were really excited. I was nervous for nothing. Although they are a bit conservative/old fashioned for my taste they really are good peeps.
Now all that's left to tell is my dad/stepmom and my friends.
