( Even when you're running at that point at about a speed of like a 4! hahahah). Again, I am just so proud of myself for even doing this at all!

Oh well, maybe next race I will be faster. I'm also very glad we ran this race, because it sparked the kick in the pants that I really needed to get motivated again. This morning I got up, got Liam fed and down for his morning nap and then we headed out and did a
