Got up at 4:45 to attempt a 14 miler w/ Heather (who is still sick) realized last night (Thurs. night) that I am possibly pregnant w/ a threatened miscarriage. Sorry- MAJOR personal info to divulge (sp?), but I figured what the heck! I haven't told anyone but Jim & Heather and you bloggers. Anyway- it all makes since now why I've been so tired and not motivated to run. I'm 34 and my youngest is 7, so baby was not in the plans. However, I would be thrilled if I can keep this pregnancy. But with my track record, I'm not getting my hopes up- my body has been refused the 3rd child a couple times. SO- I have decided to take it easy until I know if I am truly pregnant or not or having a miscarriage. I hopefully will know next week. This will throw a major wrench in my marathon training plan! If I am preg I will keep running 3 & 4 miles and not do the marathon. Since my body is so sketchy I feel I should cut way back if pregnant and not train for the marathon, esp. since this is my 1st marathon. But I have been running 3 & 4 miles on a regular basis for years, so I would feel comfortable doing that. If I miscarry (unfortunately likely for me) I will try to jump back on the training wagon ASAP. If anyone has experience with running through these trials I'd love your feedback. Thanks! |
