Yes, you read it right...I ran a 5K today...my first ever! I'm not exactly sure what possessed me to to take this on 4 months into my pregnancy. I've been reading that pregnancy messes with your brain...maybe this was a result of that! It was the "Heart and Sole 5K" benefiting the Children's Medical Center Heart Program. There's a nice story behind the origin of Heart and Sole, Inc. that you can read about here! Just scroll down to "more information." It's a very short read- even short enough for my Dad!
Well, for an out-of-shape pregnant woman, I didn't do so badly! My time was 39:05...just about 9 minutes after Patrick. I had to walk part of the way, but it wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be. As many of you know, I really hate running, so this was a booger for me. But, I'm really glad I did it! I always feel good after the fact! Maybe this can be my jump start back into physical activity.... :)
Props to my fellow dental school pals, Tara and Carolyn, who also ran today! Carolyn kicked some major booty by finishing 23rd out of everyone who ran!! WOW! Patrick said he couldn't run her time at age 17! ...and Carolyn's doing it at the ripe old age of 28!! :) ....hee hee! Love you Carolyn! It wont be long...then I'll be ripe and old too!
