Pregnancy Info HOME

Mary,
I am a running addict! I tried out for the Olympic Marathon Team last April. So I ran a ton of miles - 80- 100 miles per week to prepare for that marathon and a fall marathon that I did this Oct. I have greatly cut back on mileage and the intensity of my runs. I check my heart rate as well to make sure I am not exceeding 130. I have not had my first doctor's visit, but I believe I am 7-8 weeks pregnant. I do have to take bathroom breaks, but it's usually b/c I am constipated until I get the bowels moving on my runs. My family believes that I am still running too much. How is your pregnancy going? Do you have any advice for me? I am really nervous about my first pregnancy and keep praying for a healthy baby.
