| Not a goodbye; simply a see you later. |
Still battling the day-long nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, I long to be out running again. I see runners dart past my house, and I mentally cheer them on, wishing that I could jump in alongside them. However, this is a time of pause for me. There is no way my unstable stomach could handle the constant jostling of a run; some days, I can barely manage a speed walk to the bathroom!
I expect this miserable state of pregnancy to end in early December, which is, admittedly, a terrible time for me to restart a running program. I'm also unsure how my body will respond to running after so many weeks on the sidelines. But I hope I take the chance to try. Running does wonders for my mental health and gives me a sense of identity, which I sincerely miss. I know I am still a runner, but my body and my brain ache to prove that by hitting the road again.
In the meantime, this blog may lie silent for a while. I've meant to post so many times over the past few weeks, but my energy level is low, and it seems a bit pointless to post in a running blog when not running. I'll be back, I promise.
