The day after I found out I was pregnant, I was running a 10 mile race. So, I had a great excuse to go slow and stop at all of the water stations. It was surreal. As soon as the gun went off I started running and got choked up. It is overwhelming thinking that I was running for two now. Since the 10 mile race, I have run a 5k. So, baby's already got the racing blood flowing through him/her. I hope he/she gets John's running ability and my swimming.
Here are our race results for the two races:
Baby's first 10 miler bib no. 171, sex place 13 F 30-34, chip time1:28:40.94, pace 8:54/M (my best pre-baby race is about 1 hour 20 mins)
Baby's first 5k ","F","31","26:38" (8:35/M pace) (I think my best 5k is just under or over 22 mins)
No more races planned during the pregnancy. I was going to run the Outerbanks Half Marathon, but I will be too pregnant for that one. Obviously the half ironman came and went. I deferred to next year. What a great way to lose the baby weight, no?
