I want to run a marathon during the summer of 2010.

I am having a hard time getting running miles in this week. I was feeling good this morning when I set out to run but within the first mile I had three pain attacks. It was almost like I was going into labor, though it is way to early for that. I felt intense abdominal pain and my stomach got really hard. I walked through the pain then tried running again. When this happened the 3rd time in the first mile I decided running further wasn't going to happen today, so I walked home and rode the bike for 45 minutes and finished with some push-ups. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow and can get a little running in, I don't want to give up running just yet.

Whatever you do, just be careful. Sounds like you are pretty good at listening to your body! I'm glad that the bike didn't cause any pain for you so you could still get a good workout!

I think that turning back was the right decision. Running is not important enough for you to push through pain like that right now.

I ditto Carolyn's comment! Pain like that is never a good sign. I honestly wish I had some some days :) My body doesn't know how to labor w/out pitocin! Not a single contraction for me...with or without running. My doc is pretty surprised, but not me! If it wasn't for modern medicine I think I'd still have my first child growing inside me 9 years later!!!

Keep listening to that body and do what it tells you. The hardest thing I've learned about running pregnant is to listen to my body, to slow when needed and push only if given it. As runners you're SO used to putting off pain and pushing through everything, but when prego you've got to change the mentality and put your body first. VERY difficult for me!! You're doing a great job of it so far, and I'm glad you still got a good workout in! KEEP IT UP!

I'm glad you listened to your body and stopped. Hopefully it was just a one day thing and you'll be back enjoying your runs soon.
