Run Like a Mother

Run like a Mother…. and I did.  I ran my first 5K race on May 15th, 9 months post partum.  It was hot (almost 92 degrees) but I still made it.  I made it in the top 20%. 

STATS

Skirt Chaser 5K…almost 3.1 miles…28:23 (minutes/seconds)….. I had lots of fun.

What I learned..

Ignore the fast starters…..my starting pace was too fast because of them

Ignore the pumping music…increased my heart rate so I was wasting energy before I even started running.
