For the runners out there, did you notice your pace slow down significantly in your first tri even during the earlier weeks? I went out for an 11 mile run and had to slow way down so I wasn't huffing and puffing. I'm only 5w4d and it seems too early for that.

Oh yes, almost right away! I typically would run 3 miles 5 days a week....and by even 6 weeks I had to slow way down. I had to stop running around 20 weeks because it was too uncomfortable (lots of pressure down low). Good for you for staying active!

@WALLAROO: YES I did. I ended up not running as much, and switching to other workouts. 3 days before delivery, I was able to do a run/walk interval at EXTREMELY slow speed (like my running speed was slower than my usual walking speed), but I could still do it.

WOW! I was a runner before I had LO. I definitely slowed down during my first trimester. Quit running altogether because I had bleeding during my pregnancy. :T

Good to know it's not just me. I expected my pace to slow down eventually. I just didn't realize it would happen so soon.My usual comfortable pace is not so comfortable anymore. Earlier in the year I signed up for a half marathon that I was hoping to PR. It is in two weeks so it doesn't look like that is happening. I'll take it easy, enjoy the race and people watch.

I wasn't a runner, but was doing boot camp and other high impact classes in my first trimester. Some days I was ok, and others I could barely manage much of anything. I'm glad you're not putting any pressure on yourself. I kept up my exercise as long as I could but at 33 weeks, I'm pretty much done. I don't want to be, but it takes all my energy to get through the work day at this point.

I can remember running before I knew I was PG and I had the hardest time cranking out an easy 3. I stopped running after I found out I was PG per dr. Can't wait to get back to it!!!!
