First of all if I could ask a favor of you to go click "like" on the photo I posted for my dad to enter the Quintana Roo contest he would greatly appreciate it. I had to help him a little since he still posts to his own page instead of other people's pages and thinks it goes to the right page :-) So you are supposed to like QR's FB page then like the photo I posted for him on their page. The link is here. Thank you so much! :-)
The photo I posted for him is this one it's him on his QR during the IM in November, he's even sporting their temporary tattoo!
As for me? I'm still trucking along. I'm at 5 months now and we find out next week if it's a boy or girl. We are getting excited for that. Instead of calling it "Little A" we can actually call it by it's name! :-) I'm still teaching my 5k class and my Boot Camp class and as you might have seen in my last post it has been very motivating and inspirational to see the progress the people in the classes have made!! I feel HUGE but I keep telling myself it's not that bad at least the constant nauseous feeling is gone for now and I have a long ways to go so I better not start complaining too soon cause I'm gonna get even bigger, Ahhhhhh!! :-) As for myself I still exercise 6 days a week but of course it is at a much slower pace or less intensity. So I try to throw in extra walks where ever possible. My goal is to remain fit even though I know I can't push my self too hard. I liked a photo CTER posted on FB today and I could relate to it so well for both our chosen sport of TRIathlons as well as now that I'm counting TRImesters. "Success is about enduring suffering" and yet we keep coming back to it to prove to ourselves that we can endure!
BTW I've been having horrible shin pain any time I try to run on the treadmill, does anyone have any experience with this and how did you fix it? I've tried playing around with the incline and the pace and it is just excruciating. I usually only get about a mile in on the TM but when I'm outside I'm still running 4 miles no problem. HELP! When it starts to get hotter I may be stuck on the elliptical. :-(
HAPPY TRAINING!!!

Great picture of your Dad, I will govote for him. Love your growing belly! i used the elliptical a lot when I was pregnant, seemed so much easier than running.
Congratulations! Halfway there is a huge milestone.
For the shin splints, it could be a hydration issue. Try drinking more before hitting the mill. If that doesn't work then it's just the baby throwing off your center of gravity which is altering your form a bit :( wish I had more info for you.
You look awesome! Can't wait to see if it's a boy or a girl!
No idea on the shin pain but that is weird it's only on the treadmill. Hmmmm...
