I had a pretty decent treadmill run this morning. For the first time in awhile, I ran the whole time. For the past couple of weeks, I've either stopped to use the bathroom (treadmill) or to stretch (outside). I stopped at Babies R Us yesterday to buy a maternity belt, but it's kind of scary looking. I haven't been brave enough to take it out of the box. What I did do, though, was use my Bella Band. I bought the Bella Band back in July, thinking I could use it to wear my regular pants a little longer. But I found it really annoying so I never really used it. I decided this morning I would try it out instead the scary belt. And since I didn't feel like I needed to take a break while running, I think it helped. I usually hate having my pants anywhere near my belly button, but I think I'm getting to the stage where that isn't as annoying as it would normally be. We'll see how things go over the weekend.
I got to have cake at work today - apparently my favorite bakery now has a cake that is regular carrot cake on the bottom and chocolate carrot cake on the top, divided by their really yummy frosting. One of the managers is leaving tomorrow for Poland tomorrow to adopt 2 brothers. She (and her family) might be gone for as long as two months. Pretty exciting for them.
That thing is scary looking...not sure I'd be able to put it on!! But I still say good for you in still running!! I know so many people that say it wouldn't be comfortable for them but I always think of the woman that finished Boston 8 1/2 months pregnant. That would be my inspiration if I ever opted to have one...but very, very doubtful that will happen.
