Running on Heavy

I had an appointment with Dr. Jacobs today (#17).  He was very nice and friendly.  I had a Crazy Running t-shirt on and so we talked about running a little bit.  He asked me if I was still doing it and I told him I was trying to keep it up 2 days a week, but much slower and shorter distances.  He said he wasn’t going to tell me to stop, but that he did know of some people who really hurt their joints from running that late into pregnancy.  He talked about how it is like being 20 pounds overweight (all in one place) and the strain that would put on your knees.  I never really thought about it this way, but it makes sense.  I will definitely try to be careful and listen more to my body.
