Pregnancy running log week 31, 32, 33 via @MegganFranks
One unfortunate event occurred during week 32...I am now unable to handle running on the road.

I was more concerned with how I would manage single-parent mode all week at just a few days shy of the 7 month mark. By 3pm … [Read more...]

Welcome back third trimester! via @MegganFranks
I've been so tired in the evening and early mornings that I thought it might be a good idea to split my workout in half (half in the am and half in the pm) to see if it helped my energy levels throughout the day. For about two days I think I felt pretty good...then my body realized what I was … [Read more...]
