32 weeks

This morning Pearl and I went out for a beautiful fall run.  I am so happy to see the colours of a changing season, in Vancouver there is a slight shift, yet mostly it seemed green just turned to brown or stayed green.  The night had gone below 0, and the temperature was slowly rising as the sun got the day going, so Pearl and I were treading on frosty grass and leaves.   Here are some pics of some trails we go on...

That's Cochrane in the distance

Saturday, however, it's calling for snow.   I am so excited for winter here, I haven't had a cold snowy winter in years.  But this winter will be special because we will have our new baby!  I'm already trying to remember what it was like training, especially running in those dead of winter days of 30 below...  I am might join a gym, to use a treadmill.

The house is slowly getting finished, upstairs all done, and the living room is shaping up.

I have been feeling good, just getting heavy.  By the end of the day I need to put my feet up.  I've been able to run about every three days for 40ish minutes.  I go slow, and walk up all hills and most slight inclines... day-dreaming of future fast hard running.  On the bike a couple times per week, for about 40ish minutes also, I still hate riding the trainer, it gets so boring, but that's what I'll be doing all winter to get back into shape... fun!  Swimming has been really great, I mostly forget I'm even pregnant, besides the fact that I still haven't found anything near to my old power and strength, I can see that it will return. 

I admit to getting bored at times, here in a new town, when Colin is working days or night shifts, i actually wish I was working!  I miss school, especially with Halloween coming up.

So I do a lot of thinking about things to come... and I get really excited!  It's funny how you spend time complaining about not getting pregnant, and then you spend your time complaining about being pregnant.
