Just posting this so I can start this week off with accurate miles and hopefully keep blogging.

Hello Fast Running Bloggers!  I've missed you and thought about all of you (and talked to some of you, of course, in my absence).  Hope running is going well for everyone.  I'm probably not going to be able to read all the entries I've missed, but I might look at races, at least.

I have obviously not been around for a loooooong time.   I have been running for the last 12 weeks, but just got out of the routine of posting and couldn't bring myself back.  I haven't been crazy running, but about 3 miles 4-5 times a week, except for 2 weeks where I was sick.

I don't know what number of miles that adds up to, but it's not too many :)

But really, I'm posting to let all of you know that I am indeed pregnant!  We're very excited.  And of course nervous.

My running last week is sadly how running has gone over the last four weeks.  From nausea to sleepiness to this stupid cold that I've had for 3 weeks, the best I can do is sporadic.  Hopefully this week is easier.

Right now, just to give you more of an update than I did last week, I am 13 weeks pregnant (1/3 of the way through, yay!).  Hopefully the nausea and tiredness are almost over.  I got to hear the heartbeat last week.  And no, it's not Burt's baby.  And double no, it's not going to be a girl.

Just kidding.  I worry a little about a girl (you know, girls are icky), but a girl would be okay, I guess...but we'll find out in January.  And my due date is June 1, but the baby will come early because I'll have another c-section. 

Things at school have been incredibly weird, as our principal is no longer working for the school as of two weeks ago.  It's a looooong story, but the school will move on.  I may be switching jobs after Christmas, which'll be weird, but I'll know more about that in a week or so.

Now that I started "watching" blogs again, I'm remembering how guilty I feel when those emails roll in and I'm not checking people's blogs.  Maybe I'll do it on the weekends.

An easy 3 before everyone came over for turkey.  I'm keeping running slow somewhere between slightly above 10 minute pace and slightly below.  Don't really have a need for anything else right now!

I finally bought a treadmill and I have been using it lately, even though it's been pretty nice outside.  I'm glad I have one, because I don't want to go out when it starts getting icy, and I also don't want to buy bigger winter running clothes.  But I should probably force myself to get outside when I can wear shorts.

I've had this cold for the last 3 or 4 weeks, and it is getting worse again.  I think it's because I haven't been going outside to run.  The weather has started to show signs of winter (oh that wind), and now that I have this treadmill, I don't feel motivated to go outside. I may have to, just for some fresh air.
