Within the last few months, I\u2019ve turned 30, become pregnant and started my last semester of graduate school. I\u2019ve been studying in my little two-bedroom place off Morrell Street, and in between wondering if I should move out of Pacific Beach. I\u2019ve decided to stay. I think. One thing about being pregnant \u2014 you\u2019re indecisive as hell! The pregnancy has killed my energy and made the gym the last place I want to be. I\u2019m tired all the time but still want to do something active. My husband recommended we go for a walk. The idea initially made me roll my eyes. Isn\u2019t that something old people do? I pictured my grandparents walking through the fields on their farm. Our walks have honestly become my favorite part of the day. We\u2019ve been taking walks in the evening and alternating our routes. We\u2019ve discovered streets we\u2019ve never been down and even walking paths we had no idea were there. Walking actually burns more calories than biking, and you can burn just as many as running. You just have to do it for twice the amount of time you would normally run. Another benefit is you can really see what you\u2019re passing and take the time to enjoy it. The path along Mission Bay Park path offers an amazing view of downtown San Diego that cannot be beat \u2014 especially at night. Kate Sessions Park is an uphill walk that adds an added calorie burn if you\u2019re zealous (show offs!) and provides panoramic views of the bay and ocean below. It\u2019s amazing how becoming pregnant changes your life. Suddenly, I\u2019m doing things that a few months ago I would\u2019ve never considered. I love how walking gives us a chance to catch up on our busy day and unwind. We also confide in each other how nervous \u2013 and excited – we are about the baby. We also talk about leaving PB and wonder if we\u2019re getting too old for it. Yet when we\u2019re walking in PB it seems like there is no other place in San Diego I\u2019d rather be.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
