All or nothing

I love running. Especially in the kind of weather we've had lately, cool, but not freezing. However, since I'm way out of the habit and now carrying a large belly it's not very comfortable to run, even though I crave it and am jealous of all the runners I see. I keep telling myself I should be going for nice brisk walks instead. I have yet to do that even once. Walking seems so dull for some reason, I can't convince myself to go. I think I might be more inclined to do some serious walking if I drove someplace nice, like up the canyon, or over to the Provo River trail. But who wants to drive someplace for the sole purpose of getting out and walking for exercise? So I just sit around at home and blog instead. What a great solution.

I understand...well, not the pregnant part but the wanting to run part. Last week, the doctor said I could finally run since my stress fracture in my foot was healed. Now I have finals looming so I STILL haven't been running.

once again, i wish that we lived by eachother! we could totally go on prego walks together! i don't know if i should but i still try to run and quinn and i play tennis every weekend. i think i'll give up the running seeing how it feels really weird and is very uncomfortable...but i'm not giving up the tennis! i'll play til baby buddy is born. oh, and did i ever tell you that we miss you guys like crazy?

My mom did a ten mile bike ride the day before I was born. Maybe you could try biking? It's low impact but still cardio.

I ran at 9+ months to try to go into labor... to no avail. However, I have run three times in the last week, just because I set out to walk and I got too bored. Maybe you could walk and then jog for a block, or you could drive up and hike the Y during the day. Or is there too much snow? I forget about those kinds of things, since I'm sweating in my apartment, and well, we went swimming last week.
