My first 15k

After a trip to the Dr.'s office on Friday at 10:30 and after a quick ultra sound to make sure baby # 2 was developing fine I was cleared to run in my first 15K.  

I registered for the Sugarloaf 15k back in January or February and was really excited to make this adventure and finish a 15k.  

To my dismay I found out April 1st that our family would be growing and we were expecting (un expectedly) baby #2.  

I was determined to run anyway and after getting the approval on Friday I knew I could do it!  Saturday afternoon I went down to the mountain and got my race shirt, my bib and all my race goodies.  

I was super excited and nervous at the same time.  

I can't wait to wear this shirt and be proud.  

As I ran the race I had said get the first 6 miles run and I can walk/ run the last 3.  Little to say I ran all 9.3 without walking and felt really good.  

I finished in a time on 1 hours, 50 minutes and 26 sec.  I am super proud of that time being I completed this race 10 weeks and 5 days pregnant.  

Disappointment with my race:  was hoping to see my little man and family at the finish line but they didn't realize how long it would take them to get through all the marathon traffic and they didn't make it.  More hopes for next time that my little family can watch me finish my next race.  

Yesterday!

I got a nice 4 mile run in yesterday with the nice weather.  I left J with his dad to go do some work at my grandparents and I headed out from home to my grandparents.  

It was about 58 degrees out and the sun was shining bright.  

The only bummer was only one ear piece was working so my music wasn't the greatest.  

I am on the count down 10 days till my first 15k.  As long as all goes well between now and then.  

Today's Run

This morning I started out with P90X3 dynamics workout.   Tomorrow starts transition week meaning I have been at it for almost one month!

Then mid day while J stayed with his grandparents I ran home to get a nice short run in.

5 min warm up, 15 run, 5 min walk, 20 min run, 5 min cool down.

Pleased.

I was a bit sore about the 15 minute mark and stopped enough to stretch.  Didn't want to overdo it today as I am going to try to hit the Cinnamon Bun run tomorrow with Kennebec Valley Coaching which means 8 miles is the goal.  

Yesterday's Run

Last night I did my P90X3 Warrior workout in late evening.

Then followed it after J went to bed with this.....

a 5 min warm up walk, 30 min run and 5 min cool down.

Was pretty happy with that at 9:30 last night

Failure!

I haven't been doing so well lately and have been such a failure.  

I haven't run in a week, I haven't been eating right, I'm just shutting down.  

However,  I have stayed on top of the P90X3 workouts because I have been doing those after J goes to bed.  

Until, TODAY!  I set the alarm for a whopping 5:15 to get the workout done before he gets up.  This should allow me on a normal day to get my running in either after work but before dinner, or maybe even after dinner.  The other possibility is after J goes to bed I could get my run in.  

I have decided I need to make a commitment to better myself and make myself a little happier.  

We will see how it goes.  This week I have something going every night so just the workouts in the morning will help that and we will see if I get a run in any afternoon/evening.  

Last night!

Last night I was able to get a decent run in.

I did my normal 5 min warm up and 5 min cool down with a 45 minute run.  

It sure felt pretty good to run after 3 days of not running.  

I did this run before dinner, then after I put J to bed I finished my night with P90X3 AgilityX which is also a cardio workout. 

Tonight will be yoga which will feel good.  

Another short one!

Another short run while I get used to this new P90X3 program.  

5 min walk, 10 min run, 10 min walk

Followed by the CVX workout which is cardio with weights.
