This morning, after breakfast and a second nap, I took my bump for a run/walk (okay, okay, more of a shuffle/walk) around the golf course. It felt so good to get outside and get the blood pumping! Running with a bump does, however, present its fair share of challenges... First of all, your support needs skyrocket: Everything feels big and bouncy! Enter my retro turquoise ballet leotard from days gone by. Bounce under control - check!

Secondly, things do get a bit uncomfy. I've been experiencing some pressure/pain in certain, ahem, strategic regions lately, and unfortunately running seems to be making it worse. I'm keeping a close eye on it, but suspect that I might have to be switching to something kinder on the joints, like swimming, soon.
I'm also very close to outgrowing my normal running gear - my bright blue bump seriously wants out! I guess it will soon be me and Will's t-shirts...
Have a happy, lazy Saturday!
Love the bump!
ReplyDeleteI have that leotard! Sweet bump :) I only ran during one of my pregnancies, and only until 5 months, I think. I remember every step feeling like I was going to pee!
