Congratulations Krista and Steve!

Congratulations Krista and Steve!

mmm, babies are such a wonderful thing to anticipate!

Krista- When I found out that was pregnant with my first child, I was training for a race the next week. The Doctor (a serious runner) told me not to run in the race. It was the first of many sacrifices for my children - and I would make every sacrifice again and then some - my kids have repaid me tenfold.

Oh thinking about babies almost warms me up after a run in the bitter cold. The wind chill has the temperature down into single digits. How do you northerners run in these temperatures? My legs never loosened up at all, it was miserable. I would rather stay inside and anticipate babies....

Congratulations Krista and Steve!

I am really happy and excited for you both.

I ran/walked 7.62 miles yesterday. More to come tonight hopefully. Enjoy your tapers folks! You deserve them! See everyone soon!

CONGRATULATIONS KRISTA and STEVE!!!

Very exciting news indeed!!

Carrie Maybe you could bring that map to the Pop Meet Friday? I'm sure its valuable info I'll need!!

so far I've not used gels, beans, water, bathroom breaks - but I keep saying, its only the half, and I've only done 2 long runs - for 2 hours... and now the weather below zero!! I dont have THAT kinda warm weather clothes!! I dont own a Treadmill - so I feel like I'm a real slacker!!

I really appreciate all Charles' advice in the other threads on sweeping - I feel ok!! One step at a time!!

Get out there, ya big sissy.

Ok so I sucked it up and went outside. I wore Polartec fleece tights, last year's half mary shirt, a Gator sweatshirt, gloves, and my Nike headband to cover my ears. I've been trying to acclimate by wearing one layer less than I think I need so that meant one shirt instead of two under the sweatshirt

3 miles in 36:20...wasn't bad at all except for the bite me, scuse me I mean biting 20 mph winds and 28 mph gusts. No more whining today

I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Krista

What? You're pregnant? When were you going to tell me? And WHO, may I ask, is the father?


Thanks, guys, for the congrats! We're pretty excited. I will say that Krista has made a special point to rub it in my face that I have to get outside in this cold weather to run 20 milers while she gets to watch from the couch with a good book. So I wonder how long it will be till I can teach this kid what a tempo run is? Or a fartlek. Actually, the really important thing is how long till we can imbed the importance of the one truly great NFL team, the Black n Gold.

Anyway, thanks again for the congrats! I have to go do some work this afternoon. Talk to you all later!

Wahoooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations to you both Krista and Steve!!!! What wonderful news! I haven't checked this thread for a while, and for some reason I just happened to check now. I'm so happy for you both. Best of luck with everything to both of you. Yahoo, yahoo, yahoo.... congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!!!!

 

[Mouse Skywalker]

I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, you read that right, I am 8 weeks pregnant--due Aug. 12.

So, that's mine and Stephen's big news and why we had such a great Christmas this year. We're excited to see everyone in 9 days and to cheer you on marathon weekend. Krista

I'm so happy for you Krista!!!!! I just had to say congratulations again to you and Steve. What wonderful news. You have such an exciting time to come. Have a great trip to Disney. I'll miss you guys.

 

[Calcio]

Krista and Steve-

Congratulations on your news. You're about to undertake the most difficult and most rewarding job in the world. I wish you 3 all the best.

Of course, wait until that day he or she comes home wearing football gear that is black AND ORANGE. I'd like to be in the room and see that one.

I'll see you next week and give you my best wishes in person.

Good point Steve. Maybe I was a little hasty in congratulating you as well. Krista only mentioned you in the "big news" part and didn't say whether it was big news for you as an expectant father or big news because you were surprised to hear about it.

Craig--maybe we should go in together and get the future little bundle of joy some stuff for a good football team. I'm thinking something in a blue, red and silver pallet.

 

[TXAng]

Peeking in after WAY too long, and the first thing I saw was that Krista and Steve are expecting? That's AWESOME news!!! Congrats to you both!!

Well, I haven't even been lurking much of late, since it makes me want to get out there, but my back hurts too much to even walk very much. I'm ready for this baby to hurry up and get here. We're in the final countdown now, though - shouldn't be more than a couple weeks left to go!

Hope y'all are all doing well and enjoying your taper for marathon weekend! DH and I will be cheering everyone on from here.

 

[angietuck2]

First of all

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Steve and Krista YAY - Babies are SOOOOO FUN!!!

Sorry I do not have time to catch up with everyone else, but I do have some much less exciting news of my own:

I am a RUNNER again!!! Ran 3 miles a couple of times in the last week and did PUMP at the gym 2 times this week. And my back feels great.

But the thing I am most excited is that I just figured out that our Pasta Dinner for AT (the charity we run for) on Friday night is not until 6:00 and our POP meet is at 4:30 so we can come!!! I'm so excited to meet everyone.

For anyone running the 1/2 I will probably scream team at Ticket and Trans as I said on other thread when we ran through main street last year it was so PACKED and I don't know if I want to fight that crowd with 2 tired, probably cranky kids.

OK gotta go back to work

Craig--If my child were ever to become a Bungals fan, they would find their black and orange butt on the C-U-R-B!!!! How's your hamstring today?

Mel--You would really be freezing if you were in Ohio today, we hit a whopping high 15 degrees.

Colleen and Cecilia--I couldn't agree with you 2 more, I already said this on the half marathon and pregnant thread, but I'll repeat it again. There will always be other races, but if I knew I did something to hurt my baby when I had complete control over it, I couldn't live with myself. The risk is just not worth it. I ran the 2 weeks between my pregnancy test and going to the doctor's and on every run I was nervous that all the jostling around would do something bad, the worry and concern just wasn't worth it. Not to mention that running with some extra "bounce" was just too painful!!!

TX Ang--Good luck!!!! Do you know what you are having?

Krista

 

[Jen117]

KRISTA AND STEVE - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

See, there was a reason you didn't sign up for the 1/2 marathon!!

Funny thing, my baby turns 5 this spring and DH asked me yesterday if I wanted another one! YAH, I would love it, but not sure I am really want a 6 year difference between the my current baby and a new baby.

On Sunday I did the stinkiest of all stinky 10 milers. It was painfully wretched and slow and agonizing... but I got it done. Tho with a stinky 10 miler I know feel under-trained! Tho yesterday I did 3 on the home TM and it wasn't so bad. Ughhh... I just want it over!

 

[Jen117]

OHHHHHHHH I HAVE OVER 1000 POSTS! How did I miss that?

 

[hockeygirl]

Congratulations to Krista and Steve

You must be so excited!! ANd I would say that is a very good reason to not run a half marathon!

 

[Lexxiefern]

Congratulations Krista and Steve!!!!
That is so wonderful! Glad you are not too sick, hopefully the nausea will pass soon.

Angie - I am so glad your back is better and you can run again!

Well I had a great 10 miler with my sister this past weekend. It was so nice to have someone with me. The miles just flew by! Unfortunately, we have lots of family visiting and they all brought us lots of germs and now my girls and I are trying to fend off colds Not feeling so hot, but I keep telling myself I have a week and a half to get better.

I am soooo excited about the races in a week and a half!!!! I am so glad that I am no longer scared about the marathon - I am just super excited!!

Congratulations Krista and Steve!


It's sooooo cold here! We're in the single digits and will be for a few days! No outside running for this wimp! No way! Treadmill only until it warms up! I'm looking longingly at all the Minnie 2008 signatures. It's really calling my name lately.

Keep up the great tapers! You're all on your way to great races!
