BUT I do have a very good reason - meet Mini Murph, our little clomid miracle.
I did try to keep up with the running, but after Hull 10k, which was the same week as we found out I had really bad stomach cramps and it really put me off. Then pregnancy stuff kicked in and I felt too sleepy to do anything never mind run. I went once with hubs and I was just that paranoid about baby that I hated every minute of it. So the running is hold until after he/she is born. Which should be soon as I am 37 weeks.
I do plan on getting back to running as soon as possible after giving birth. I do also need address the 2st 10lbs weight gain too. I have entered the ballot for the great north run and I plan on doing park runs every other week - husband has signed up for Yorkshire Marathon so is now a 'serious runner' so we'll take turns. I have actually missed running, never ever thought I would say that and actually mean it. Its always felt like something I thought I should say after missing a few runs. I haven't run now for nearly 8 months and it seems like far too long.
As much as I am desperate to get back out there and pound the pavement, first I need to concentrate on being mummy for a bit. I'll have a baby who needs me and a husband who is training for a marathon who will no doubt need a little help with stuff and fitting in his training. So I am happy for a bit to let my introduction back into running to be fairly slow. I have waited a long time to have this baby.
I still want to run a half every year and I still have dreams of running a marathon, I also have dreams being a great mum, that one take priority for now.
So rusting a bit longer is ok with me.
I'll be back with updates !!
