I've been running since I was nine.  I'm married to a fellow runner who inspires and supports me.  We have two children:  Cole (4) and Lily (18 mos.)  I help Bill Cobler coach cross country at East High School.

SLCC loop.  I felt great.  No baby pains.  However, the stupid achilles tendon flared up again.  Seriously, who gets hurt when they are not even really training for anything?  Oh well.  At least I have plenty of time to get it better.  The downside is, I can't take ibuprofen.  Of course, that means I can't mask the pain, so that's good.

So weird that your achilles is acting up with light training. Hope you can get it completely healed by post-baby!

Maybe you already know this but I know that your tendons and ligaments are looser during pregnancy because of the hormone relaxin...That might have something to do with it? Hope you're feeling better.
