This was the advice my sister sent to me the morning of the Gate River Run. And you know...had the Hart bridge come at the middle of the run instead of at the end...I totally would have considered jumping. The middle was definitely the most painful. Daniel had run the 9.3 mile race before, but I had always taken the easy way out and run the 5k. This year with baby weight to lose I needed a goal. Hence, the 15k. I ran the race in 1 hour and 33 minutes, and Daniel ran it in a ridiculous gazelle like pace of 1 hour and 10 minutes. He is insane! We trained for 10 weeks prior to the race, so we were both satisfied with our times. Daniel improved his time by 4 minutes. With proves that as we get older...we actually can get faster! Who knew?
As for Foster, he stayed home with his Nana who came to visit for the weekend to help us with the babysitting. He was a perfect angel for her...no surprise. He seems to only show himself for me. I guess that is a good thing which promotes less embarrassment in public. We have officially dropped the evening catnap and some days...we become the ULTIMATE entertainers...whoopee!
Anyway, I am glad the weekend is over with. I don't know that I will ever run it again. We will see how I am faring next year. As for the baby weight...I am almost there. Almost all my dresses fit or are so close to fitting. But man...those darn shorts! My once slim hips certainly are much more of what you would call "birthin' hips" these days! I can get into all of my shorts-just wouldn't wear them all out in public...know what I mean? Oh well...more dieting and exercise for me. I AM NOT buying another whole wardrobe. Those who know me well, know that would be absurd! Plus...I LOVE my clothes!
