Withdrawals

I miss running.

Okay, okay...I'm still running but it's not the same. 

I've gotten slow

And it's too hot so I'm chained to my treadmill - blech.

I miss my running buddies.

Here's a look back at better times.  My last race.

Coronado's Independence Day 5K & 15K

It was beautiful.

I was 7 weeks pregnant and super sick...but you wouldn't know it from the pictures right?

Ceri and John ran the 5K while I did the 15K

It was the most perfect day which made me kind of forget how sick I was...kind of.

I kept a nice, steady 10min/mile pace for 7 miles.

...then I ate some caffeinated gummies.

I kicked into high gear and passed 70 people in the last 2 miles!

WHOOOOOOOT

So. much. fun. 

Last year this was my first race. I reminisced a lot on the course. I would have never thought at the time that that one race would have been the spring board all the rest.  And at the time I laughed at the thought of doing a WHOLE marathon. Oh how things change.

 John, Ceri, and I post race

 Making some "kills" in the last 2 miles

 Sprinting to the finish

{sigh}

I love a good race

Oh and just for record keeping, here are my stats:

1188 people ran in the 15K that day.
