I'm realizing more and more that GOAL SETTING is the biggest motivator for me. But I can't really sign up for another run... or can I?
I can run a 5k in the fall! There are some pregger ladies that do that up until the day before they pop!
Now on to find a 5K that I want to do... I bet Race For the Cure is coming soon... yup, just looked it up, September 25, 2010. Not too far away and I need a motivator.
Just now I ate too many Cherry Twizzler Bites... probably not the most nutritious thing for baby "Fermi" and my tummy is feeling it now too. This pregnancy has so many more cravings and food aversions than the Owen pregnancy did... sheesh! I saw the Twizzler Bites and I just HAD TO HAVE THEM... what a weird feeling.
Oh and on top of that my legs are so sore. Like I've been running every day... which I wish was the case, but is not the case. So maybe if I actually do run, the sore legs will not be sore? That would be weird.
Weird. Good. And on my way to a goal.

Another way to move
So I haven't blogged in a while, and exercise has definitely taken a back seat in my life for a couple of reasons:
#1 It was the end of the school year, teachers are running around like chickens with their heads cut off and I was supposed to run on purpose on top of that?!
#2 A week after school ended I started working at Fermilab in Batavia, IL which for all physics people is the COOLEST opportunity ever... I started running again around my grandparents' neighborhood because I am living with them, but not to the extent I had been because
#3 I am pregnant again.
Yes, this very happy news was probably conceived DAYS after my ultimate goal of the River Bank Run and my accomplishment of actually losing ALL my Owen-pregnancy baby weight. I call it Owen-pregnancy, because this time around I am shooting for a Cassidy-pregnancy.
Cassidy is my cousin Erin's first born, she's adorable and chunky in all the right baby places and I love her smile! Erin, however, was a I-stuck-a-basketball-in-my-t-shirt pregnant woman. I was so jealous that when you looked at her from behind she did not look like some whale-morphed-into-a-human mixed with a penguin-waddling-down-the-hallway. She looked like Erin, until she turned sideways and you wondered whether she was being funny by actually sticking a basketball underneath her t-shirt, or if in fact she was WITH CHILD.
So that's my goal! A Cassidy-pregnancy is in my future.
I'm 12 weeks along, running at least once or twice a week (I try), but come August I'm going into overdrive... well maybe just drive, considering I'm kind of in neutral on a hill :) I just recently quit my job as a high school teacher and accepted a job as a professor. Less $$$ (yuck), BUT less time (YAY!) which means more time with my boys and my future girl (it's a girl right? we can hope!)
