Training Summary: 1/18/2016-1/24/2016

Last week I talked about how I’m learning to listen to my body when it comes to fitness and working out while pregnant and today I got another major lesson in this. I planned to do my long run this morning BUT I woke up with a weird pain in my tummy and didn’t want to push it. I waited around for an hour or so and it subsided so I decided to head out and give it a go. I did a loop around our neighborhood to start and about half a mile in the pain came back, kind of like a side stitch but different. I was frustrated but clearly want to keep my baby safe so I opted for some non-impact biking and weight lifting in the gym.

After some research and a call to my midwife I figured out that it’s probably just some light round ligament pain so baby is safe and sound in there!  

Anyways, with that here’s my long run-less week of training!
