30w0d

If I weren't using the super boring pregnancy date title format, I think I'd be tempted to title this one "I did it!" (said in a Hiro from Heroes voice). I don't know why 30 weeks got into my head as a big milestone, but even though my running is far below what I would've liked it to be, I feel proud of myself for still running 4-5 times a week at this point. And again, even though it's a lot less than I'd like to be doing, I feel proud that I ran 6 miles this morning.

I even went outside for part of my run! We got hit with a few more inches of snow yesterday, but it's in the 20s and the roads are semi-clear. I ran really, really slow this morning in part due to the snow, but also the hills in my neighborhood. I've been running on my (flat) treadmill, and there were no hills when I ran at my in-laws last week so I'm really not used to any form of an incline. I got in 4 miles before running out of places to run and I kind of wanted a bathroom break anyway. So I stopped had a brief break (< 5 minutes) to clean off my shoes, pee and change into shorts. I then ran 2 miles on the treadmill; I was starting to get some possible braxton-hicks towards the end, so I was glad to stop.

I might go outside again tomorrow, but we'll have to see. My pants don't stay up too well and it's hard to adjust them when I'm carrying my water bottle.
