2 more months to go...

Really starting to feel the weight of this belly now. I have gained 17 pounds and it is definitely harder to move around now. Bending over is a real chore and so is trying to get comfortable in bed. I spend a fair amount of time sitting at work and now my belly pushes up on my diaphragm, making it sore. The good news is that my ribs are not as sore anymore from the stupid fall I had a few weeks ago and I am able to run again. The running is not as fun though since I have gained more belly that only means more pressure on my bladder. The bladder discomfort is worth it though. Being able to still run at 31 weeks makes me feel good mentally and is a positive way for me to have some "me" time. It makes me feel strong. The Ironman World Championships are this weekend and I have been reminiscing about last year. I still can't believe I was actually there...it feels like 100 years ago....
