Coming Clean

So I have been hinting at a "condition" I have and that there have been issues that it has caused with my running.  I may have alarmed or concerned people with my lack of explanation on what is going on. But I didn't mean to make anyone concerned as it is not life threatening, but rather more life changing.

I've been cryptic because too much information will give it away and I just wasn't ready to talk about it yet. However with the Disneyland Half coming up next week, I am not able to keep this a secret much longer, nor do I think it's necessary to keep it a secret anymore.

So here goes...

 

Yep...I'm pregnant. So like I said above, it is more of a life changing event, rather than a life or running future threatening issue. I used the word condition in quotations because it's a temporary state that I'm in as this bundle of joy should be arriving at the end of January.

So there.  Whew!  It's out in the open now. 

I just knew that once pictures started popping up from Disneyland weekend people would be seeing my "popped" belly and wonder what's up.  No...I haven't gained weight, I've gained a passenger. A little pumpkin.

So I hope I didn't concern anyone, I just wasn't ready to share the news yet until all the family knew and I was a bit further along in the pregnancy. So now you know what's going on with me and I wanted to let you know that I will still be running for as long as my Midwife will let me run. So I will still be chronicling my adventures in running and life, but with a twist. So I hope you are still willing to stay along for the ride because adventures are always better with fellow travelers by your side.  Happy Friday!
