Racing again
I ran my first race in nearly two years today. The last time I participated in a race was Hood to Coast 2007, and then I was pregnant shortly afterwards. It has been somewhat of a struggle to get back into a training routine, so I was a bit hesitant to sign up for the 10k. Mike convinced me to do it and reminded me that I've been running strong the last couple of months, and I'm glad I did! It was a great day for racing, and the course was quite nice, taking me to parts of the metro area that I have never been before. It also wasn't a very big race so there was some elbow room. Despite the flat route (I've been running on hills), I had a fairly good time and I'm starting to feel like a runner again. Added bonus: we saw a couple from our childbirth class there and met their adorable baby.
