  • I run first thing in the morning so whatever I have on I go with. I run enough I'm proud of my butt and I'm fast enough I doubt it's enough time to discern panty lines. Race day in another story though.
  • You can continue with most exercise programs but you should not start anything new besides things like walking or gentle yoga. Many people don't gain weight in the first couple of months. Now is a good time to start trying to listen to your body's cues. But really you need to have a conversation with your OB. I had trouble…
  • I stopped strength training by my third. My center of gravity was off and could not even do a lunge at that point. I ran through my entire pregnancy. I was only doing 3 miles at a time at the end. I ran the morning of my CS and its one of the things I am most proud of.

Sometimes you have to run in single file so make sure you line up at a manageable pace. My trail pace is about a minute slower than my road race pace. Also, there is something really…
  • I would make sure he has the skills and knowledge concerning nutrition while he is still under your roof. Does he know how to bake wings or scramble eggs or make a sandwich melt?
  • You look great.
  • I just joined to try to keep my diet in check while I recovery from an injury and am no longer able to eat what I want because I am no longer running. I was training for a half and two weeks before the race had knee pain, I decided to stop training and rest for the two weeks prior to the race. Race day 1.5 miles in I was…
  • Invest in a good jogging stroller and a bundle me.
