It still seems fairly nuts to do to a body that's already got a lot going on, though.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Family friend did a similar thing. She was running the whole pregnancy, actually did a 50 miler at 6 weeks before she realized she was pregnant. She really took to being pregnant, in the sense of pretty much no side effects other than the obvious. She did not give birth until 2 days after the marathon. But she beat my dad's time, which he found amusing , if unencouraging.

Punishingly Intricate
I should also add that when I went through security in London on the way back to the U.S., they didn't make me take off my shoes.
Yeah, not in Ireland this summer either.

She did supposedly check with her doctor and she ran intervals. And probably had trained a bunch for it.
My best friend did 140 miles on a bike 6 weeks after giving birth to her twins by cesarean, though, so possibly I have unreasonable ideas about what can or should be done close to or shortly after having a kid.

I defer to trusting the knocked-up athlete to know her limits.

In unrelated news, I was at the wedding of friends this weekend and the bride is a sign language interpreter so there was lots of awesome sign language interactions happening. Including a 10-week old staring intently and smiling at one of his moms talking to him with her hands. And I learned how to sign "dumbass" and "vaginally-aged!"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I was going to protest this, but at the same time, I puked a lot after yesterday's race and my tummy still hurts. I laugh at myself. But if she's run a bunch of marathons she's probably much less delicate than me.

"vaginally-aged!"
What does that even mean? Or do I want to know?
