13.1 Done

Today was my 2nd ever 1/2 marathon. 13.1 at 10 minute pace. Slow, I know, but good for me. My legs (calves mostly) felt sore immediately after so when I was done I sat on the floor and played with Sam and ran "The Stick" over my legs. Then I started getting a massive headache and a few chills. I didn't eat much before I ran and I didn't eat much after I got done either. I popped an ibuprofen and started feeling better shortly thereafter.

I'm glad I ran a 1/2 this morning & the people who run this race are fast. Last year the winner finished in 1:08, middle of the pack was 1:52 and the bottom 1/4 still posted a time of 2:04. Based on last year's results I finished 830 out of 943 runners. I know it doesn't really matter, I don't run to beat other people. This is just another one of my odd personality traits!

Sam update: She still isn't officially crawling but she gets around fast! She is starting to wave now too which is pretty cool. I still can't believe that after 5+ years of trying to have a baby she is here and she is soooooooo amazing! My wonderful sister-in-law is a budding professional photographer and took some awesome pictures of Sam last weekend. I have included a few of them here. We also took Sam to the zoo this weekend and I have included a picture of Travis & Tracy hanging out at the gate.

Well better run, I need to pump (yes, I'm still breast feeding) and Sam should be waking up from her afternoon nap shortly. Catch you all later. HAPPY RUNNING!
