Maybe it was not meant to be

When I started my running blog in the middle of the summer it was meant to chronicle my attempts at running throughout my pregnancy and then my return to running in the spring after the baby is born. I felt like the goal of continued running was attainable as I had run a PB half marathon and 10km while in the early months of this pregnancy and had even been training for a second marathon. But alas my body had other ideas. You see with this third pregnancy I have been sick, really sick. I have had the usual early nausea sickness and exhaustion, coupled with terrible flues and cold, the latest turning into a full blown sinus infection which required antibiotics from which I had an allergic reaction to culminating in a massive hive breakout. Phew!

I don’t want to complain and I certainly don’t want this blog to come off as whiny. But I guess I want to capture how I felt at this time and describe why I’m not running so when I look back on this stage of my pregnancy I have a journal of why I didn’t manage to hit my goal. But the good news now is that I am starting to feel better and hope to get back out there, even if it is only a slow shuffle.
