Woah… I haven’t heard about this yet. Crazy, she had contractions on the start line?! I’m all for running during pregnancy… shoot, I plan on doing that when the time comes… but marathon? Prolly not so much.
I don’t know whether to give that lady props or get her head checked…but I guess all runners are a little crazy. Glad her baby was okay and heathy and all that good stuff.
Favorite mexican joint: Costa Vida! I love that place and I don’t love mexican food all that much, so that’s saying something!
oh man, sorry, my bad, i meant she had contractions at the FINISH line. lol…that woulda taken crazy to a whole new level! and i’m so with u, i’ll be running up until i pop, but i don’t plan on any marathon distances!
okay, so i have yet to be to Costa Vida, but SO many people are in love with that place, they didn’t have one close to me in OR, but i’m thinking a trip there is a must in my near future. 🙂
i honestly think she is pretty incredible and far stronger than me…i mean i have enough trouble pulling my own body weight 26.2 miles 😉 i dont need anyone else tagging along. ha!
that’s exactly wat ran thru my mind!! those people who run with running strollers are beastly as well!! no excess baggage/weight will i be toting around for that long!! 🙂
I’m not sure how I feel about this. Pregnancy is by no means an excuse not to run – unless there are other issues. For the most part, you can do anything you were doing before…the baby is snug, protected, and safe. That being said, a marathon is HARD on your body, and the baby depends on the mother for proper nutrition, etc. She had the dr.’s OK, and she was running throughout, so I tend to think that it was fine for her. However, I could not even imagine running 26.2 (or 10 or even 3) miles when I was 9 months pregnant. I could barely get up from the couch!
i think that’s more my thing, what in the heck is the appeal of running a marathon when u’re toting a tot! haha…like u said, to each their own and if i were pregnant i’d run unless their was a concrete reason i couldn’t.
I read that she found out she was prego after registering for the race. I say, more power to her for going for it, even if it wasn’t a PR. I have no intention of having kids, and if I did I would probably be sick as a dog with my propensity for nausea, but I think I would try to run as long as possible. I’d probably gain a million pounds otherwise. lol
hahahaha…oh my gosh, me not running = obese sumo-esque proportions!! u crack me up. but honestly, if she had PR’d with a baby in tow, they should have thrown her a party and named some street after her!
