Where in the World is the SassyFitRunner? BIG UPDATE...rhymes with Eggo


Sassy Fit Runner is Preggers!

Okay, though it is no excuse as to why I "dropped off" and haven't blogged recently, shortly after my last post we found out we would be expecting our 2nd child. Yes, Sassy Fit Runner is now Sassy Fit and Preggo! We will be all ribbons and bows come January with a precious baby girl, Willow.
To do a quick recap to bring you up to speed on the last few months:

While celebrating 3 months pregnant, my husband and I ran the Atlanta's annual Peachtree Road Race on July 4th morning! The weather couldn't have been better. Morning of, it was sunny with a few clouds and was a breezy 70 degrees. After finishing a little over 6 miles we enjoyed relaxing on the grass and then went home to nap before 4th of July festivities!

Morning sickness began to set in mid July, so I spent most of that time just doing the best I could to keep anything down and pray for some relief. Once it subsided I was back into full swing, with the approval and guidance of my doctor.

On September 13th I ran the Scrub Run 5k, put on by one of my favorite local event groups called Get Set Grow. I proudly received 3rd place in my age group! Couldn't be more blessed and we also found out that we were indeed having a baby girl!

And lastly, on October 4th, I honored my family members who have fought and beat breast cancer at Get Set Grow's Diva Dash 5k/10k. I again excitedly received 3rd place again in my age division at 6 months pregnant! I even had enough energy to spare and joined the Zumba post celebrations. This may be the last race for me before we meet Baby Willow. I was so thrilled to have placed. Again each time I paced myself and got approval from my doctor :)

Hope to keep my Sassy Fit Peeps more up to date. I will be posting soon what my favorite products I have been using to keep my happy, healthy, and sassy during my fit pregnancy! Remember to always check with your physician before starting a fitness routine or supplements especially while pregnant. And as a good suggestion is to always get a stamp of approval from your doctor to continue any training.

LOVE Y'ALL & Stay Sassy!
