Just wanted to encourage you to be careful... we don't know for sure but there is a chance that my running right at the end helped to cause the placental abruption. I will be running my next pregnancy whenever that is, but will definitely be more careful. Good luck and I look forward to reading about your journey!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01225426653125480099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870364589252837234.post-79527632822369653752010-08-28T15:57:58.777-07:002010-08-28T15:57:58.777-07:00You have been on an incredible journey already and...You have been on an incredible journey already and it will continue with baby Congdon #2 and beyond!!<br /><br />BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870364589252837234.post-48841949898999452752010-08-27T17:02:00.681-07:002010-08-27T17:02:00.681-07:00yay for another little Congdon running around!

So. I was planning, as I read this, to write...Okay. So. I was planning, as I read this, to write you an email - but since you are SO BOLD in sharing this process publicly, I want to affirm you in the same mode. Affirmation is what community and friendship are all about, and I feel that I've learned A LOT from you about the healthy and appropriate role of friends in affirming us rather than supplying our core worth. Anyway. I digress.<br /><br />Becca Sue, you are phenomenal in your honesty and your DIRE pursuit of health and wholeness. I applaud your hard hard hard work in coming this far - seriously, LOOK how far you have come. From couch to marathon training. Seriously. Second, I don't know if I know anyone with such an INTENTIONAL heart toward her husband and child. If there is one thing I could say about you, and one thing alone, it is that you love like you mean it, 100% of the time. That is hard to do and hard to find. I cheer for you and Dan coming through this difficult season and will pray for continued strength and recovery. I think it's awesome that you're seeing a physical therapist. Your willingness, almost without a second thought, to seek help from people who are well qualified is a beautiful thing. Whether academic, spiritual, emotional, professional, or now physical, this is something I've seen you do time and again, and it's awesome. I think it makes Abba really happy that you draw on the resources around you to help you be as built up as you can be. And finally... there are worse things than Taco Bell. At least, if you're going to do something unhealthy, it's a ranchero chicken soft taco with extra ranchero sauce. <br /><br />I love you. You are awesome. I hope the physical therapist gives you the go-ahead, and if she doesn't, not an ounce of your awesomeness is gone.<br /><br />-moofAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870364589252837234.post-72409003984701541712010-06-25T08:56:02.395-07:002010-06-25T08:56:02.395-07:00Great attitude Becca Sue.

I was just wondering - I was remembering when I used to do weight training and how we'd wear a weight belt to support our lower back for certain moves.

Yo...Your honesty is always appreciated, Becca Sue. You guys have a lot going on, and if the marathon ends up having to be the thing that is cut, you won't be a quitter. There is always next time. You have come soooo far. You can always keep running and doing half marathons to stay in shape, and then when the right time comes again to do a full marathon you can, and you'll be even more ready. Either way, you He will carry your family through and give you the strength and grace through it all.

And your sharing your self talk too. It is so funny how you can try that sort of thing and then realize "this is NOT working" back to what works for me. In childbirth I tried picturing the calm special place thing and I just couldn't get into it, I think because I don't care about going to some tropical island. Instead I had to picture myself climbing Mt. Rainier one slow step at a time (which I had done before having kids and knew that you could do one slow step at a time) "kick breath, kick breath . . ." whammo 3 babies!mommybrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354886291462810403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870364589252837234.post-4516974590354444292010-05-25T02:02:57.612-07:002010-05-25T02:02:57.612-07:00Out of your multiple-choice list, if I saw you run...Out of your multiple-choice list, if I saw you running in the rain, I would think:<br /><br />Wow - she's super awesome!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01219927747463858511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870364589252837234.post-73309786259746469342010-05-24T18:24:33.950-07:002010-05-24T18:24:33.950-07:00What a fun(ny) memory to add to your amazing train...What a fun(ny) memory to add to your amazing training story!
