Wow! That's awsome Amy! My lifetime goal is to do a marathon and I'm really impressed :D I'm doing the Komen Race For the Cure this weekend and though I'm not running, I'm exciting about taking a step in that direction... (*chants "go amy, go amy...") Be sure to fill us in on the prep for the duathlon and how it goes.

I just ran a 10K on Sunday. Took me an hour and a half, but I did it, by golly. I'm doing a duathlon in a few weeks (2 mile run, 10 mile bike, 2 mile run). Like last year when I did it, I'm totally not in shape for it. But it's forcing me to work out a little more in anticipation, so I guess it's a good thing.

Well, I keep checking in here but I havent seen anyone post and I'm starting to wonder if anyone else is still around. :( Hopefully people will come back...

I've been doing pretty well with the pregnancy and keeping up going to the gym at least 3 times a week. Oh, there have been weeks where I have only gone once but I try not to beat myself up about it. I do try to walk alot in the office to at least keep from being completely sedentary.

I've made a more concious effort to eat better too. for about a month there was a period where i drank soda (though not in copious amounts), ate ice cream, and fast food. Nothing in excess mind you, but still. I paid the price for it by gaining more than the recommended amount per month. There is nothing i can do about that now, since dieting is just stupid when you're pregnant...but I am trying to get the recommended servings of protien, veggies, vitamin c, etc in a smarter way. I'm conciously eating more fresh veggies and cutting out fatty sweets entirely. If i get a craving for ice cream or any sweet i have fruit instead. I hope it pays off.

This week I'm probably going to be hitting the gym every day for about 30-40 minutes on the treadmill or crosstrainer as john is out of town on business and its a good way to fill up some time. My next ob appt is next monday so perhaps this better eating and working out will show some positive results by then!

ciao!
