My due date is officially less than one month away. I know most second pregnancies go 1-3 days beyond the due date, so I certainly don’t have my hopes up that I’ll be done being pregnant by 9/28/21. However, I am very much looking forward to not being pregnant some time in the near-ish future. … Read the rest

Why I Keep Working Out During Pregnancy
After a very restful weekend, I was feeling motivated to get back at it this week.

7 Month BumpDate
This was a much needed “down” week for me and my running. With all of the changes happening with COVID, my work schedule has been pretty demanding, and the boys and I are still getting things ready for baby.

CrossFitting in the Second Trimester
I’m wrapping up my 25th week of pregnancy, which means I’m getting pretty close to third trimester territory. When I first found out I was pregnant, I honestly wasn’t sure how long I would feel comfortable CrossFitting. Especially since I didn’t CrossFit with my first pregnancy. … Read the rest
Birthday Trip & Working Out While Traveling

This was a somewhat difficult week for me. I started off not feeling great Sunday and Monday after my cousins wedding. I was hoping to get up and go for a run Monday morning, but when I was still feeling sick by Sunday night, I knew the best option for me was to sleep in and let my body recover a little more. … Read the rest
