Juneathon, Day 2

Posted on by Run DMT

Not only is today Day 2 of the Juneathon, but it is also National Running Day. *sigh* How I wish I could honor the day with a good run! Heck, even a good wog would have been nice.  Oh well.  So rather than a run, I simply walked (more like waddled) for 20 minutes.  I also did 50 squats and 30 push-ups.

 

On a side note, I also had my 32 week OB visit today.  I gained 6 pounds since my last appointment four weeks ago. UGH! I’m also measuring at 34 weeks.  Double grunt! Plus, they detected sugar in my urine.  O.K. so it might have had something to do with the super size bowl of Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch and large helping of watermelon I ate for breakfast this morning and maybe even the volume of ice cream I ate over Memorial Day weekend or the several refills of Slushies I shared with my 4 year old yesterday at Target.  But I swear, for the most part, I’m being so good. Looks like it’s Kashi for the remainder of my pregnancy.  Blah. It’s going to be a long, not-so-sweet summer.

Joining the Juneathon

Today kicked off the official start of the Juneathon and I did my best to join in the fun.  After all, I’ve got my eyes on the prize:  a pair of Vibram Five Fingers Classics.

 

Although my wogging days have been temporarily postponed until my postpartum days, I chose to ease into the Juneathon with 20 minutes of prenatal yoga and weight training.  This big ol’ bump may keep me from wogging, but it can’t keep me from a few biceps and tricep curls.  I also threw in some squats and lunges in for good measure.

 

If you missed joining the Juneathon today, there’s always tomorrow.  In fact, tomorrow (June 2) is National Running Day, so get out there and run for me or run with virtual Run DMT.

Two Weeks Until the Juneathon

Tuesday, June 1 starts the Fourth Annual Juneathon and Run DMT is participating again this year. To join in the Juneathon, participants promise to commit to exercising every day during the month of June.

 

For me, the timing couldn’t be better.  Last week, I whined about explained how my wogging days have come to an end and how I’ve had to find ways to help reduce my lower back pain.  This annoying pain in the back forced me to replace walking and wogging with swimming.  Therefore, for the month of June, I will continue working-out whether it’s squats, swimming, weights or prenatal yoga.  The Juneathon is just the motivation and accountability I need to hang in there and not sulk give up.

 

What about you?  Will you join the Juneathon?  If my big ol’ bump can do it, then so can you!
