I attempted my first race this past Sunday, post-Judah ... oy. It was a 4 miler in the park, so not a very long distance, but it clearly served as a reminder that I indeed had a baby 5 months ago. The weather was kind of nasty and I ran it pretty slow, but the highlight was seeing my 3 boys at mile 2 1/2, cheering Mommy on. I finished in 38:18, which is a 9:35/mile pace ... I referenced my running log back in 2009 and saw that 5 months after I had Gabriel I ran a 4 mile race (same course even) in 35 minutes and some change. What a difference between recovering from baby #1 and baby #2!! One day, I will be back to my true form, one day :)
