Yaaaaaaay! Now I ...Happy almost-Mother's Day Mer!! Yaaaaaaay! Now I can send you flowers every year on Mothers Day! :-D<br /><br />As I read this post, I couldn't help but smile and nod at everything you wrote. It takes a person with a good head on their shoulders to realize that you can't be ME ME ME after you have a baby. It's definitely hard to make these big changes and realize that what was important in your life "then" won't be the same as "now" or the "future". You're going to be an AMAZING Mom, and I'm sure PlusOne will appreciate you being there for every step of the way...My Mom basically stopped her life for my sister and I, and I am thankful for her support every single day...<br /><br />Love you!! Can't wait to see you (and your new place!!! :-D xoxoShanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11226590006329406452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158530621730441799.post-73076213680191679302009-05-08T21:23:00.000-04:002009-05-08T21:23:00.000-04:00Mer ...you rock.

Based on what I have seen around SD it's seems like people get faster after they have kids. You'll probably be one of them...if you only have an hour to train you'll just go that much faster.

There are TONS of times I look back to the winter and wish I had taken some more (cold) rides since now I know I won't get to enjoy riding outdoors like I used to for quite some time.<br /><br />And the running - ugh, don't get me started. I ran this morning for the first time with our training group in 6 wks since we've found out (we're finally telling everyone) and instead of the usual 4.5 mile Friday morning run, it was a slow 3 miles. It didn't help that it was humid, either, with the darn overheating. However, another gal in our group is 19 weeks pregnant so at least there's two of us figuring out together.<br /><br />In a few weeks I'll get to start blogging about my endeavors of a pregnant endurance athlete (work doesn't know yet!) - I hope you enjoy my stories too! (www.j-trialbyfire.blogspot.com)<br /><br />And BTW, I am getting SICK of the elliptical! It reminds me of when I was injured before Ironman and couldn't run...what a drag.Jacqihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085436824402194215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2158530621730441799.post-52804264819927490442009-05-08T13:51:00.000-04:002009-05-08T13:51:00.000-04:00Mer! I LOVE reading your posts... :) Hello? You ne...Mer! I LOVE reading your posts... :) Hello? You need to post about baby clothes shopping! Okay - um, I see compression socks in your future. Seriously - that will help. AND, I call it "elliptiscizing" - makes it sound a little more serious. So by that not - "walkiscizing" - hee hee hee. Perhaps...<br /><br />I'm happy the move went well! That's great! But yeah - moving is HARD either way you look at it.<br /><br />I LOVE your running plan - I think that's awesome. AND you can totally take Plus One in a baby jogger with you. A lot better than putting him in day care at the pool or riding the trainer next to the crib. And knowing you and dave - Plus One will be VERY active! :)<br /><br />Okay - this comment is like, as long as your post. Sorry! Let's get together soon!!! HUGS and love your way!Marit C-Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742572497365287990noreply@blogger.com
