Alysia Montaño Runs USATF Championships Pregnant
Now, I know the human body is capable of incredible things but this is just another testiment to that. I have the hardest time dragging my butt out of bed or off the couch to get a run in and this lady is motoring … WHILE MAKING A HUMAN. I feel so lazy now……
Note: Pregnant ladies, check with your doctor first, always and consistently!
Seven months pregnant and running a half mile in slightly over two minutes and 32 seconds. I can’t even. I might be able to eat a meal in 0:2:32 if I was pushed into it. When I ran the Marine Corps Marthon last year, there was a woman that was very visibly pregnant running the race as well. Granted, she wasn’t running a Speedy Gonzales pace, but she was keeping a good 11-12 minute mile clip with her husband beside her. 26.2 with a baby on board? Sheesh! I see women with their swollen baby bellies gracefully striding on the dreadmill beside me at the gym. I look at Alysia and women like that and think ‘Damn.’
Get it, girl.
Now I’m going to go drag myself to the gym.
