Candice's Weekly Report 3/14-3/20

Monday: sculpt class, 1 hour
Tuesday: 1.5 miles on treadmill
Wednesday: nothing
Thursday: Swam laps for 40 minutes
Friday: sculpt/aerobic class, 1 hour
Saturday: nothing

This was a slower week. After my sculpt class on Monday, my body was hurting pretty bad. I think maybe I did too much, because my back was killing me. And the worst part was my arch on my foot started hurting. I tried to walk it off on the treadmill on Tuesday, but I was limping along and felt a little ridiculous so I gave up after a mile and a half. I took a break on Wednesday and decided to try swimming on Thursday. Swimming is great because I don't feel any pain in my back, but I get very bored swimming back and forth. I think I will have to do this more often in the upcoming weeks before the baby comes. The good news is after 2 days off this weekend, my body is feeling great and I am ready to start again this morning.

Alainna: Week March 14-19

I ran 20.0 miles this week!  Wahoo!  The weather has been great - at least a high of 50s all week, even getting up to 73 yesterday!
I feel a little burnt out though on running.  Just need a break.  Glad tomorrow is Sunday!  Built -in break every week.

Candice's Weekly Report 3/7 - 3/13

Tuesday: 3 1/2 mile jog/walk
Wednesday: 1 hour Kickbox class
Thursday: 1 hour sculpt class
Friday: 1 hour sculpt class
Saturday: 2.5 mile jog/walk

I am hoping to get my jogging stroller fixed soon so I can stop jogging with my umbrella stroller. Having to hunch down to push it is not helping my back that is already starting to hurt quite a bit. It seems that my back is hurting a lot more with baby #2, than with the first pregnancy. Or maybe I just forgot that part. The question is, would the back pain be better or worse if I stopped working out? It's gotta be helping, right?

I am now able to ride 12 miles on the bike in 50 minutes.  That keeps me pushing most of the time but I can feel my legs getting stronger. Way to go Alainna for your continued dedication.

Alainna: Week March 7-12

I finished the week with 13.8 miles run and 4 miles walked.  I had a lower mileage week because I was trying to take it easy in prep for a cheater 5k (3.0 miles) that I ran with some friends this morning.  I finished it in 30 minutes.  Not great but not horrible.  Especially since the last mile or so of it was ALL uphill, with some really steep sections.  We're all gonna run another 5k in 4 weeks.  We'll see how I'll do then ... 6.5 months pregnant...

Alainna: Week Feb 28-5

I ran 17.2 miles this week!  That was divided up into five days, Monday through Friday.  I had three 4 milers this week!  I wanted so badly to run 2.8 miles on Saturday and get 20 miles for the week but I woke up that morning with a cold so I figured I shouldn't push it by running in 30 degree weather.
