I just biked with my daughter in the trailer 16 miles round trip. That is a HUGE record for me. The return has some significant elevation change, too. I'm really proud of myself - I never used to think that I had much capacity for exercise. This trip was with a friend to a local science museum, and it's been a goal of mine for a while.
Have you hit any fitness milestones lately?

@sarac: Nice work!!! That sounds like it was hard 
I'm not really working towards any goals right now, but the fact that I'm still working out at almost 30 weeks pregnant is a win enough for me!

That IS huge - working out through your third trimester is amazing. This trip was not terribly hard, except for the steep parts. The trailer and my daughter weigh about 50 pounds total, and they take a lot of effort to pull.

I'm working out 5x a week which is great for me!

Nice!! I did cardio for 35 min. And took the baby and dog for a 30 min walk today ...I'm sore but feel good.

@sarac: That is awesome! I can't wait until A is big enough to go in the bike trailer.
I climbed a rope! Never done it in my life, I couldn't do it in middle school when we were supposed to, but I finally did it at the gym last week. Then I did it two more times until I realized I had scraped half my shin off. Time for some tall socks!

@tlcbaby: THAT is amazing! I opened my mouth to say 'I could never do that!', but I've got to stop saying that. I'm officially adding it to my life goal list.

@sarac: You could totally do it! I always thought it was about upper body, but it is really more in your legs and the technique. My next goal is a pull up, but that one is going to be a bit harder!

That's awesome! I hope to get LO on our bikes when she is big enough.
@tlcbaby: Your rope climb is amazing! I've never done it - I always seemed to miss that day at CF and bodyweight type stuff is not my forte. It sounds like if it's mostly legs I could try it at least.
No milestones for me lately, my goal right now is just to get to a point where I can get back to crossfit. It's just not in the cards right now with working full time with a five month old who has an erratic sleep schedule. I've been weight training a little at home but it's not the same. When I get back I'd like to work towards a 200 lb back squat (I was 10 lbs away before pregnancy!) and get back to olympic lifting if possible.

@Revel: Thanks! I was super shocked that I even did it---then I had to come down!
Do they have childcare at your gym? They do for a few classes each week at our gym, we might start using that soon so I can go more often. I only go once or twice per week right now.

@tlcbaby: My gym doesn't have childcare but that's not really the issue, more my work schedule. Evenings and weekends I want to get to spend time with LO and FI, and I'm kind of militant about her not taking bottles in those times, haha. I really want to be able to start going at 6am but she often wakes at 5am and wants to nurse on and off until we have to get up for the day. I think I'll get back to it soon though, even if only once or twice a week.
