I gave in!

I joined a gym.

It's only temporary, as I can't seem to run as much (if at all), so I'll be swimming and using the elliptical instead.   Last night was my first time going to this particular gym and I was impressed.  Very clean and there are a ton of machines.  Plus, I decided to go swimming and it seriously felt amazing.  Completely and utterly amazing.  I almost forgot I was pregnant! :)  And it's been years since I've done a lap swim, but it came back to me of course.  All those years as a competitive swimmer, swim instructor and lifeguard pulled through. :)

No worries, pregnant running is all about ups and downs! I'm 35 weeks now and have had good and bad phases w/ running. Good for you adding in other activities.

Swimming is great excercise - especially for you pregnant types. Completely non impact and easy o the joints (important when all of your ligaments start loosening in a few months....)
