You're allowed to call me a "bad ass" anytime, by the way.<br /><br />Diana, I want to run in the Dam tot Damloop. And I though løb was a cool word for run. Loop is even better. Funny that we didn't end up calling it "leap" in English when all the other germanic languages seem to have such a similar word. Some crazy brit was just like, "I'm gonna call it to RUN". <br /><br />s.a. regarding leap in ability after giving birth, this article is really interesting on the doping effects of pregnancy. I think Stefanie S will like it, too. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/features/article6831281.ecesea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-87026553944526701052011-08-20T05:58:16.169+02:002011-08-20T05:58:16.169+02:00Wowzers.

It is so interesting to me that many female runners seem to make a big jump in ability post-childbirth. <br /><br />I had a c-section, and began running before 6 weeks. I felt good, and it felt so amazing to run and not be toting around that extra weight. I don't know where the 6 weeks thing comes from...maybe the same antiquated place that contends that an elevated maternal heart rate is bad for the fetus.s.a.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-11589692154385144652011-08-19T17:58:17.253+02:002011-08-19T17:58:17.253+02:00You are doing great!

My OB had no problem with it since I ran through the pregnancies for the most part and had easy deliveries. Like you, it made me feel sane to get out and be my old self for a while (though I was pretty slow at first).<br /><br />I also marathon trained with both kids post-partum, and it didn't affect milk production at all. Even with high mileage. It also didn't suppress ovulation, damn it! Ha! <br /><br />I did get two pubic-ramus stress fractures almost a year after my son was born. But I attribute that 100 percent to overtraining, looking back. Bone scans, density tests, etc., all came back completely normal -- no osteopenia, nothing. <br /><br />My point? You are doing great listening to your body. My bigger post-partum overdoing it worry is always, always mastitis. Which I just tend to get, I guess (5x!). <br /><br />Mattias is gorgeous.Jacquelinehttp://jackandviv.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-16342791881065851822011-08-19T14:12:57.042+02:002011-08-19T14:12:57.042+02:00I'm like you; I really get pumped up when I do...I'm like you; I really get pumped up when I do intervals.

Can't wait to ...Whoah! You're crazy fast!<br /><br />Can't wait to read all the studies you posted. My midwife here has been very supportive of my exercise during pregnancy. We'll see what she says about running after the birth. I believe the rule here is no exercise for six weeks, but I generally ignore those kinds of things and go with what actually works for me.<br /><br />If you're looking for a shorter race to run, we've got some spaces free on our team for the Dam tot Damloop here in September. ;)Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137207492303218465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-62004541671957586722011-08-19T09:13:09.341+02:002011-08-19T09:13:09.341+02:00One word: Badass.

Obviously I'll wait and see how I'm doing after the birth, but my gut reaction is "yeah, whatever"...heatherhttp://runharrietrun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-15560179161324078842011-08-19T07:00:36.169+02:002011-08-19T07:00:36.169+02:00Thanks, Olga.

Didn't read any stuff on post-pregnancy research (apparently, I had been in menopause for the last 5 years and never told, and to think we had to contemplate and make a decision on having a baby in this second marriage...could have avoided that talk). But the numbers wow'd me.
