Oh, to run again...

I miss running. I'm now 26 weeks pregnant and I haven't run since my two races in March. I try to get out to walk for at least an hour three days a week but it just doesn't feel the same. After a good run I would be drenched in sweat, breathing hard and feel liked I really worked my butt off. But after an hour of walking I don't feel any of that. I barely break a sweat and generally feel like it was a waist of time. Sometimes I start to jog a little (on a flat stretch or down the big hill on Waterway) but I instantly have the urge to pee (shifting baby on bladder) so I spend the next five minutes chanting "Hold it in..squeeze..don't pee on your new running shoes..". Quite sad, isn't it?! Although my daughter enjoys this short pick-up in speed because she usually yells "Yeah, mommy run!". To which I usually chuckle..which doesn't help my bathroom situation. Oh, the joys of exercising while pregnant.
