Well..I did it..I have 6 kids and I can still run a race in a decent time!! I feel like I paced myself almost perfectly . My time was just under 46 minutes and boy did I work for it. It may sound crazy but in some ways racing has now become harder for me than labor. Have any of you seen that movie from the 80's with Lily Tomblin and Bette Midler where there are twins switched at birth..I think it's called Big Business..I am like the country mother having her 9th and 10th child now..calm..barely noticing the pain..seriously. But at the end of the race I was panting and moaning and had to sit down and whine for a few minutes. Not that it was all that fast..I hope to run faster..but I just haven't had to run faster for a long time..every pregnancy does that to me no matter what shape I'm in before the pregnancy. Anyway, I got a prize from my husband for that time...he's promised me a waffle cone maker...now if only I can find time to sit down and shop for it. ;) |
