Race Day

I have always had a love hate relationship with running.  It has always been a part of my life due to sports.  But I haven’t always enjoyed running.  I started running as an adult in March 2008.  I have found that 5K races are a good distance for me.  The training doesn’t take too long so I’m not gone from the family too much.  I had to stop running during both pregnancies but was able to get back out there a few months after they were born.  I have been running for a few months and even did a 2 mile race in July.  Jack, our male Golden, is my running partner.  He helps me train and keeps me company on night runs.

My goal was to run a 5K before the twins where 1 year old and today was race day!

I didn’t beat my PR for a race but I finished and I ran it.  It was also a goal checked off since the twins are 11 months tomorrow!

My next race is on Oct. 27th!

On a food note: my pre-race meal was 2 scrambled eggs with cheese.  Post race I ate a banana and drank 2 bottles of water.  Most races have food tables at the finish line.  As a Gluten Free person I head for the fruit and stay away from the donuts and biscuits.
