I think you both will like the Pregnant, Fit & Fabulous forum, it has a lot of pregnant women who are trying to stay in shape throughout the pregnancy! Good luck to both of you! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/332498-fit-fabulous-and-pregnant-september-2011?hl=pregnant&page=3#posts-4478183

I'm pregnant (16 weeks along) and get headaches as well. I talked to my doctor about it and he prescribed Fioricet. I often get headaches when not pregnant and Excedrine is my best bet, but since it's advised not to take it while pregnant, I've been avoiding it. My doctor also said that his wife took Fioricet regularly…

Congrats to all of you who are pregnant! I ran until the last month of my first pregnancy and ran very little during my second, and my second ended up being much more difficult and painful. I'm currently pregnant with our third (ran a marathon after conception, but before we knew we were pregnant) and plan on running two…

Smilegirl~ Congrats on running so far into your pregnancy!!! I ran up until the last month of my first pregnancy and I was going to be proud of myself if I made it that far again... now I guess I have a new goal :) Thanks for being inspiring! Things here have been fantastic! The kids got to hear the baby's heartbeat this…

I wish I could keep up with everyone! I've been trying to read all of the posts, but I can't believe what a large group this is :) Thanks to everyone contributing! Even when I'm not writing, it's great to feel like others are going through some of the same things! Today we're 13 weeks along and tomorrow is another OB…

Hello! I'm new to this forum and can't wait to connect with others! I'm currently 11w6d (due Valentine's Day) with baby #3. We have a 6 year old girl and a 4 year old boy. So far things have gone great... we've had two ultrasounds and the baby is healthy and growing! We had two because our OB does a brief one at the first…

Yesterday: 5.0 (My miles) + 272.9 (Previous TEAM FABULOUS miles) = 277.9 (New TEAM FABULOUS miles) Today: 12.0 (My miles) + 277.9 (Previous TEAM FABULOUS miles) = 289.9 (New TEAM FABULOUS miles) Great job team!

8.5 (My miles) + 259.4 (Previous TEAM FABULOUS miles) = 267.9 (New TEAM FABULOUS miles)

5.0 (My miles) + 245.8 (Previous TEAM FABULOUS miles) = 250.8 (New TEAM FABULOUS miles)

2.5 (My miles) + 231.5 (Previous TEAM FABULOUS miles) = 234.0 (New TEAM FABULOUS miles) Wish I would have worn my Garmin while I mowed the lawn today... I could have added those miles too :) Lesson learned!

Great job Team Fabulous!!! Don't worry about getting busy, it happens :) 18.0 (My miles) + 213.5 (Previous TEAM FABULOUS miles) = 231.5 (New TEAM FABULOUS miles) I didn't run for two days, but had my long run Saturday! It was my second 18-miler (getting ready for a marathon Memorial Day weekend), and it was tough!

8.2 (my miles) + 189.5 (Previous TEAM FABULOUS miles) = 197.7 (New TEAM FABULOUS miles)

5.3 (my miles) + 184.2 (Previous TEAM FABULOUS miles) = 189.5 (New TEAM FABULOUS miles)

5.4 (my miles) + 161.1 (Previous TEAM FABULOUS miles) = 166.5 (New TEAM FABULOUS miles)

I am SO sorry to my team for not posting. We were on spring break and I hadn't signed in. I promise to be more diligent! To make up for it, here are my miles from this month: April 2 ~ 16.0 (MY miles) + 87.1 (Previous TEAM FABULOUS miles) = 103.1 (New TEAM FABULOUS miles) April 3 ~ 8.0 (MY miles) + 103.1 (Previous TEAM…

I'd love to join... but would it be cheating if I'm already a runner? I'm running a marathon in 8 weeks (my first since having kids!).

I agree that it's very relative. As another had posted, just make sure that your "easy" mile is really that... easy! You should be able to have a conversation comfortably. As for the "hard" mile, don't start out sprinting, but make sure that you push yourself and are very winded during and after. The more you challenge…
