That's a great article. Thanks for the link! I see my doctor next week and I"ll be sure to ask her opinion about postpartum exercise. She's a marathon runner herself and very serious about her training. I'm so fortunate to have her as an OBGYN who understands my need to stay fit and exercise. The first two doctor's I saw told me to do nothing more strenuous than long walks during my pregnancy--I was really disappointed. But then I found my current doctor. She told me to keep riding my bike until I go into labor. I was thrilled! Plus, I had just got a new road bike (my husband bought me to cheer me up when we first found out we were pregnant) and I didn't like the idea of having to park it for the summer. Our pregnancy was a big surprise. We're thrilled, but when we first found out I was depressed because I knew I wouldn't be able to race this summer. So far, being pregnant hasn't been nearly as horrible as I thought. I can still do most of my group rides and even fit in a run here and there. I've only got six more weeks to go! Riding has been a great way to stay in shape the last few months. I can't wait to start towing a burley around with my little biker chic on board :-)
