4 miles (run 4min/walk 1 min) accomplished!! I never would have thought I could gradually build my body back to running/walking this distance a few weeks ago. Lesson learned .. everyone's body does pregnancy different. People will give you advice & tell you what they could or couldn't do, but you just have to listen to your OWN body, make it your OWN experience, block out the "you just wait untils" and take YOUR journey one day at a time. Happy Sunday! ☀️ #19weeks #oisellevolée #oiselleteamnc #teamCEP @cepcompression

2-ish weeks off from running, but got back on the trails on this beautiful day! Still getting used to my new pace and body (especially breathing!! Where did my breath go??). For the first time I felt like I was running with a water ballon in my stomach. Thank goodness for thicker waistbands on @oiselle strides shorts so I strap baby J in! 😂. #oisellevolée #oiselleteamnc #teamCEP @cepcompression @nc_volee #15weeks #SweetBabyJones

Barbell with my @whitsim to start this Sunday! It's amazing how weak you are when you don't do weights regularly 😬. #TeamCEP @cepcompression #oisellevolée (at Life Time Athletic - Raleigh)

Kicking off this guy's birthday weekend with a morning bike ride on the greenway! & pancakes after of course 🤗 #hello31 @train.race.repeat (at Neuse River Trail)

4 miles is my happy place 😊just blessed I can run and not be in excruciating pain wth each step. Learning patience is the key! #TeamCEP @cepcompression #oiselleteamnc #oisellevolée @nc_volee #flystyle

Finally got to lace up since running Cooper River! 4 miles with only slight pain in the left knee 🙌🏻. I guess all this cycling has been helping! #TeamCEP @cepcompression #oisellevolée #oiselleteamnc #tryingtoavoidsurgey

My teammates are awesome at posting pics and updates, but I did snag one photo with my gal @sdalbrecht1 before getting over the bridge! #oiselleteamnc #oisellevolée @nc_volee #TeamCEP @cepcompression (at Cooper River Bridge Run)

Thanks for running with me for part of my run @train.race.repeat !! Interval running is still all I can do these days and 6 miles seems to be my knees max. Just doing my best to get to Charleston so I can fly with my birds! #oisellevolée #oiselleteamnc @nc_volee #TeamCEP @cepcompression #teamzoot @zootsports

[idreamofboston]

Looks like these are my new running shoes😶 No running for the past two weeks makes the bike the best alternative. 👍🏻#TeamCEP @cepcompression #oisellevolée

When your knees are happy with you, strength training is the first building block to recovery and getting back to 🏃🏻‍♀️ running. #TeamCEP @cepcompression #oisellevolée #oiselleteamnc

When I'm not racing, my favorite thing to do is cheer this stud on! @zootsports #teamzoot #azaleatriathlon2017 @train.race.repeat (at University of North Carolina - Wilmington Campus Trask Coliseum)

Today was a new day in the running world for me and @train.race.repeat. I've been struggling with intense pain coming from my left knee/ITB/sciatic nerve during my runs. Each week I am still seeing the PT for dry needling and chiropractor for ART technique. It was suggested that we try the Galloway method and today we did just that. Run 5min/Walk 30 secs. Let me start by saying this method is great and doable. With a marathon 3 weeks out, I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous bc of all of this, but today's run helped reassure that sometimes things don't go as plan and we have to go to plan B. Today's motivation for all you crazy athletes: One foot in front of the other and don't quit!!! #TeamCEP @cepcompression #oiselleteamnc #oisellevolée @nc_volee

Happy mail day! Love being apart of #TeamCEP and all the support they give through the company and gear! CEP socks are apart of my daily wardrobe from recovery socks under my scrubs at work or compression socks during my training. Try CEP and your will feel the difference! #TeamCEP #cepambassador @cepcompression
