You Go Girl!

Unfortunately I have misplaced my camera so I can't upload or take pictures right now. This is why I've been slacking on the blog posts lately. Thanks to my friend Meg I have some pictures (that I stole directly from her blog) of a 10k that we ran yesterday. 

We woke up early and drove down to Tacoma for the You Go Girl 10K/Half Marathon. We were wondering how it would go since we have been barely running lately. Instead we've been exercising at the gym by taking Zumba, BodyPump and Step classes. We signed up for this race a long time ago and just had to push ourselves to not just walk after the first few miles.
Meg 24 weeks pregnant and me 17 weeks
We finished in under 12 minute miles (yes our pace was 11:59 to be exact) and therefore our overall time was 1:14. We were very proud of ourselves! Not bad for 2 pregnant ladies who haven't been running much! This race reminded me that its sometimes nice to push yourself past your comfort zone to see what you are capable of doing. We are stronger than we think!
At the finish!


Afterwards we met up with Meg's husband Chris, David, Meg's family friends who also ran and their husbands and went out for lunch. It was a perfect end to the race and we drove home exhausted, stuffed and ready for a nice hot shower.
