You ladies are just wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Roxanne - Oh, how I would love to do the half with you. My brother called to let me know that jogging strollers were allowed (at the back) for the 5K - he said he would push me if I couldn't do it. Oh, how that made me cry.... <BR/><BR/>Suzie - yes I do feel like I am running a marathon right now.... one that I didn't train for. <BR/><BR/>Poky, JP, Sharla, M&M, Ang, Sarah, and Polliwog - thank you for your encouraging words. I'll admit - I cried through most of them. I dreaded posting my drop-out. When I say I'm going to do something, I do it. Thank you for lifting me up. It means so much to me!Team Hannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14237829613233235308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-14724708089956922432008-02-22T21:24:00.000-08:002008-02-22T21:24:00.000-08:00Wow, a post I can actually relate to right now. As...Wow, a post I can actually relate to right now. As you may remember, I had to completely drop running at 9 weeks pregnant (I'm now 16!) due to heart issues. I had planned on running throughout so it was a big disappointment to go from running 20-30 miles a week to absolutely nothing. But I am *trying* to look on the bright side--I will be SO ready to dive into running again on the other end of this! And, of course, getting a baby :) Totally worth the sacrifice. The "there is a season for everything" has become something of a mantra for me. But it sure is tough to watch all your friends train without you, I know. :) I always hate it when people say it, but it applies: hugs! Do you usually get past the sickness after the first trimester? I hope so--good luck.Polliwoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417693301697370757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-55116452177200906362008-02-22T15:51:00.000-08:002008-02-22T15:51:00.000-08:00First of all, congratulations!

And we will all be here for you when you want to run your marathon. Motherhood is its own kind of marathon, don't you think? Especially the 9 months proceeding the actual arrival of the child. You are a strong woman! You can do it!!Suzie Petuniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13387520367654400467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-30965255805616194452008-02-22T05:38:00.000-08:002008-02-22T05:38:00.000-08:00I can totally empathize.

Mentally, I know it's hard, and no amount of people telling you how "short" it really is will ever help. I hope you feel better soon, or at least intermittently. :)sarah k.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18443012372866539495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-31982498775233712622008-02-21T22:21:00.000-08:002008-02-21T22:21:00.000-08:00And there's no way you are doing your first marath...And there's no way you are doing your first marathon alone.

I am bummed not to be able to experience it with you, but sooooooooo incredibly thrilled to have another neice.......... or nephew!

I am sure there will be others of us Mommies (especially Ang!) ready to run another marathon when you are ready to come back. For now, take care and get lots of rest. Unfortunately for me, I was not able to run when I was pregnant, but it made running that much sweeter after having the baby. Thanks for sharing your story!Kelly(M&M)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10667877708280021302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19163408.post-48367234005182625612008-02-21T21:27:00.000-08:002008-02-21T21:27:00.000-08:00Hi- I am going to post a bio w/ the "meet the momm...Hi- I am going to post a bio w/ the "meet the mommies"- enjoy - if possible the pregnancy. I did 7 marathons and many other races before having kids. I have 2 boys and decided to run another marathon before next pregnancy. You will get back to running. There is a time and a season for everything. Hang in there.

I am now 21 weeks and had a ...Oh, I can so relate! I am now 21 weeks and had a horrible time October-January. I ran on and off during this time but it was hard enough to pick myself up and take care of my kids. I probably took a 1 1/2 month break from running due to the sickness. It is so hard! I would pray each day that I would make it through the next. I will tell you that the end is near. I can't believe how much better I feel at this point. As far as my running goes I almost have to start all over. I am running very slow and I can tell that I have lost a lot of leg strength. I am planning to do the SLC half marathon but I am sure I will be walking some of it. I don't really care if I walk half of it I just need that goal to keep me going. If you want to run/walk with me I would be happy to have your company. Do you think you will be over the worst part by April? I am planning to posts some things about running during pregnancy (I am a very average runner so this will be very down to earth)that I hope will help. <BR/><BR/>By the way I will totally run a marathon with you after our babies are born. I just found out I am having a girl! I have two boys so it is exciting news.

I'll be thinking of you. <BR/>I'm pretty darn sure you could find a number of marathon mommies to run with a marathon with you when the time is right.<BR/>Oh, yeah and congrats and the new addition.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02699008126598930879noreply@blogger.com
