#11	Daniel November 10, 2008 at 1:23pm i found out before you guys...haha I had a chance to talk to her during the Mt. Sac invitational and when i asked why she wasn't running at the momment she confessed to me she was pregnant. Congrats for her!! we even took a picture!!! reply
#10	Anonymous Coward November 8, 2008 at 2:33pm She has that great healthy, pregnant glow! Blake, running will get easier in your second trimester. I ran a half marathon at 4 months and continued running through about 7 months until it was too painful, then cross trained on the eliptical or in the pool up until the day I delivered. I definitely recommend it. reply
#9	So... November 8, 2008 at 2:18pm by the way, Blake is a superior athlete and lovely person, and doesn't strike me (& I've met her) as the type of woman who needs to be coddled and sheltered from any criticism. I mean, her interview is posted on flotrack, for the entire running community to see, what else would she expect?! reply
#8	So... November 8, 2008 at 2:15pm the answer is yes then? this board is reserved for positive feedback...criticized wasn't stated accidentally, that was the question. it's simply odd that people can't state what they think, as long as they aren't inappropriate. reply
#7	SteveB November 8, 2008 at 8:09am Key word...criticized...there is always someone that wants to criticize some thing small and redundent. Thank you Flotrack! reply
#6	What The? November 7, 2008 at 11:49pm was that last post deleted just be/c the poster criticized Blake's answers (referred to as 'painful'??) what is going on here with censorship? there was nothing inappropriate about what was written...I'm seriously asking--do comments have to be positive on here? reply
#5	Leo November 7, 2008 at 10:58pm Blake, Congrats! reply
#4	Listening November 7, 2008 at 8:04pm ......it is hard to hear Blake.....her voice is so soft.....interviewer's voice is terrific glad she wants to keep running. Congrats to her and husband. reply
#3	Ricardo Balmaseda November 7, 2008 at 9:39am ... What? reply
#2	Karl November 7, 2008 at 8:38am My wife went from 110 to 160lbs! Well, we did have twins but she's finally able to run again and is back down to 110. reply
#1	Anonymous Coward November 7, 2008 at 7:57am Blake is such a great name, I hope she comes up with a cool a name for her baby as her own name! Congrats. reply
