Felt really good for this race. Started with Ericka, Luz, and Rachael and ran the first 2 pretty easy. Once I got to the damn I was on my own and felt really good so I just let myself flow down the hill. Felt a little tired on the parkway but was able to maintain a good pace. Pubic bone is sore know which means I probably will be cutting these half marathons out, but we will see. Apparently I had quite the little following, I had the words baby on board on the back of my shirt, and several people told me they used me for a pacer. I also noticed when I passed people they would speed up for a bit and pass me back, just can't let the pregnant lady beat ya (most of them I would pass back). I absolutely loved this half. 8:50, 8:51, 8:10, 8:14, 7:46, 8:03, 8:16, 8:08, 7:49, 7:39, 8:20, 8:13, 8:12 Didn't stop my watch so not sure on the last .1 but I was passin people. This time matches my slowest non-pregnant half:) Watched the marathon finishers for a long while and then had get back to our hotel for checkout. It is so fun to be able to see the full marathoners finish.
