11 weeks after delivering Raegan Olivia, I challenged myself and
participated in the Hasentree 5K to benefit the American Cancer Society. I had
two goals: 1) to finish and 2) to finish under 38 mins which was my finish time at
my last 5K benefiting the Brain Injury Association
of NC.
Wondering what my results were???? Wait for it…….this new mommy finished at 37:30 which was even better than BIANC race because there were tons of hills as well as creeks, mud, and flat terrain through the Hasentree Trails. Until the next run, I’m going to “keep on running!”
I really wanted to be brave and prove that I could run a 5K or
something similar which would give me a huge boost post pregnancy. It was
probably more rewarding mentally as much as physically. When we first started,
there were two older gentlemen that mentioned how “serious I looked” and said they should
run with me. I jokingly stated that I may be finishing last and if they saw me
passed out to just pick me up. After
mentioning that I had just given birth, they cheered and commented "well,
good for you, but you could've picked an easier option if you wanted to get out
and away from the baby"...lol
