But real quick. Ran the Mother's Day 5k today. I had a great experience even though the kids and Ian couldn't make it to support me. I finished 8th in my age category with over 100 in my category, so not terrible. My goal was sub 27 and I finished at 27:08 (8:44 pace). My first two miles were right around 8:21 but my third I slowed a bit. So just shy of meeting my goal. I suppose it wouldn't be much of a goal if I easily obtain it. Even though I am carrying a little extra weight, I am officially running quicker consistently than before I got pregnant. Not bad 6 months post baby. I was also pleased with the fact that I took two days off before the race--and during those two days I ate junk--ish and enjoyed in adult beverages. Probably not the best training food. And literally 10 minutes before start time I had some super tummy problems which made me nervous to run--but I didn't wake up early and drive across town just to get sick in a portapotty and come home.
Trying my best" oh ya this is easy smile" when I sorta was dying

Race T-Shirt. My favorite so far.
Note to self: I need an armband for my phone. I am tired of holding it during my runs.
