Pregnancy and Running Update

I have 12 days till my due date. Today I went for a run but make it a quick one since my dr's appt yesterday said I had high blood pressure. I was assured by my doc that I don't need to change anything up but I figured I'd take it a little easier today.
My running talley thus far is 6.6 miles this month. 216.59 miles left for the year and 174.9 miles ran while pregnant.

Running while pg talley

Each month my miles are getting lesser and lesser. This month I was only able to do just under 10 miles. But I have been doing a lot of cross-training, swimming, elliptical and spin classes. My running talley for pregnancy is up to 168.3 miles of running since I found out I was pregnant. And for the year, 2009, 76.81 miles completed out of the 300 mile goal I set myself. My last run on Friday was a little painful, I started experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions before I headed to the gym. I never experienced those with my first child so I decided to continue my workout regardless. I had to stop runnning at just over a mile but finished up with elliptical. We'll see how my run tomorrow goes, I'll be happy if I can make it with even 1 mile runs up to my delivery date.

And I think I have dropped a little. I noticed my maternity support band is harder to put on now, the velcro is pulling so I believe my belly has dropped. I have an appointment with my dr later this week so I'll have to confirm with her but all things are pointing that the end is very near.
