Last night Jerry and I went for a run together: I made him swear, before we went, that he was gonna run with me and not just leave me in the dust. He swore, but his own condition was that he wanted to bring the Garmin along.
The run went fine, and it was nice to have someone to run with, but in the end, I had to learn the truth about our digits: 33:29 for a 3 miler. That's an average, according to Garmin, of 11:08/mile. I figured I was going about that slow as of late, but seeing it in actual, digital numbers kinda made me feel like poo.
Oh well, I'd better roll with it right? Because I'm likely to only get slower as Norah grows bigger!

Glad you had some company for your run. Slow or not, you are still running!
Hey, at least you are still doing it! Towards the end, you'll look back at this and think you were speedy. ;o)
It's actually not THAT slow. You're doing great!
hey at least you are moving girl! i was a big piece of lazy ass when pregnant...you're doing great. And my sister who is not pregnant runs 11 min miles. So there.
The baby takes priority now and forevermore...get used to it. Your life is not your own. (But it's worth it!)
I agree, it's not that slow:) But it is slower than you are used to so I can see where that would be frustrating.
Yeah for Jerry for being out there with you and staying with you! You're doing great.
I wouldn't worry about the pace. You are doing so awesome running while pregnant!!
HOWEVER, post baby, those times will start creeping back down. SWEET!
Don't worry too much about the times, at least you're still able to get out there!
Think about it like this - some people can't even run that fast without a little bun in the oven! You're doing great my dear.
Running is running. You'll be back up to speed in no time!
Wow! That's still faster than me. You impress me everyday! Keep up the great work.
Hey, I run 11 minute miles, too! Glad you're still enjoying the physical and mental health benefits of running.
you are still running and thats what matters! :)
Yup. The numbers don't have any meaning now. Being out running? priceless!
Girl you're still my hero for even running! I stopped exercising after the 2nd week I found out I was pg :P:
Don't beat yourself up over your time...the most important thing is that you are out there still running!!! You'll be that much further ahead once the baby comes. Great job!!!
Its so fun that you can call her by her name. I almost slip sometimes but we're trying to keep ours a secret! And listen, be proud of yourself that you are still running. That is damn inspiring.
Thats where I'm running now - so it looks good to me! I'd hate to get beat by a pregnant lady in a race so I hope we dont meet up anytime soon...
Nice work! You are faster than I am.
There should be a category for pregger-runners...you know, sorta like age-grade rating.
Im beyond slow.
you should run with ME as Id be the one begging you to come back into the dust :)
Miz.
It's hard not to worry about the numbers. It's great that you are getting out to run!!
