10K was worth it.

[thom]

Yes, worth it. 3:30 wake-up and all. I started at the back with my baby and my stroller, in front of only a handful of people in a race with 2,000+.

I have been so slow this fall compared to before baby, but it's ok because he's 100% worth it. My goal was mainly to have fun and finish strong. If I finished under 1 hour I would be thrilled.

You guys, it is ridiculously amazing how fun it is to start at the back and spend an hour running and passing people the whole way with a stroller. In spite of all the weaving and the extra distance it gave me, it was awesome. The atmosphere and cool morning gave me wings.



8:59 pace. Bam! Yes, I will AW that. I hardly believe it.

And because you put up with me being an AW, here's the little guy who finished just ahead of me.

Poof!

Good luck and happy racing to everyone who has their big day tomorrow. We will be cheering!!!

Congratulations!! That is an amazing pace while pushing a stroller!

[labbie]

You are amazing! That's a great pace, much less with a stroller and having to navigate through everyone. I'm glad you had the race you wanted, and your race partner could not be any cuter.... What a lovebug. Congrats!

I'm so glad your race went well and that I was able to catch you at the expo for a little bit! Congrats to Speedy too. He is adorable!!

Thanks! Sorry I didn't stay with you guys longer. I had to talk to my H about some harvest woes, then Speedy needed food & a diaper, etc, etc. Hope you & your mom had fun. Enjoy spectating today if you get out to the course!
