I agree Slinkedog. I don't think anyone was saying don't exercise Robyn, but I don't think you can plan to train for a race. I had my first son 6 weeks early and taking care of a preemie is really exhausting since they nurse every hour or two. My second had reflux so screamed all the time and my third, well he just screamed non stop. I certainly didn't sit around in a bathrobe, I just tried to survive the day.
