Up until yesterday, I exercised every day of 2012. For a pregnant lady, I'd say that's not too shabby. Honestly, to day I planned on running a few miles, but sleep did not go well last night. I was up twice because our otherwise wonderful cat was purring like a diesel engine in my ear (and knows how to open doors- that's the second one) and twice with the bambino: once for a lost blanky-bear and once because the darn cat opened his door and curled up on his bed. All this plus normal second-trimester tossing and turning equals very little sleep.
So, here's a recap of my streak:
January 1- Resolution un-Run with Dad. 3.1 miles
January 2- 4-mile walk to and from a playdate, plus 1 mile run on the treadmill.
January 3- Treadmill while watching Biggest Loser.
January 4- 30 minutes of yoga
January 5- 2-mile neighborhood run
January 6- 2.6-mile loop from the house
January 7- 30-minute yoga
January 8- 30-minute yoga
January 9- 3-mile treadmill run
How do I feel? A little run-down, but I don't think it's from exercise. I am fighting off a cold right now. Judging by the number of students who have been absent this week already, it's probably a losing battle.
And for tomorrow? I want to streak again! My legs did not feel overly tired, and the yoga helps me sleep. I feel like building up my frequency of workouts now, while the intensity and speed are down, is a good way to maintain a real base when it comes to training.
Hope you are feeling better soon! you will be so glad you stayed this fit after you have the baby. You are doing incredible!!
