I was very tempted to skip my long run on Sunday but I dragged myself to the gym anyway. “Long run” is a bit of a misnomer compared to my pre-pregnancy long runs though. I did run the 5 miles, but I needed to take a 1-2 min rest break about every half-mile to cool down a bit. I felt kind of bad about it at first, but then I recalled how my heart rate was the first thing to change with pregnancy. There is just more oxygen flowing around. I get more winded (but not necessarily more tired if that makes sense) doing things that barely made me blink an eye before. So I run a lot slower and I need to take more breaks, but the important thing is that I’m still DOING it.
