Reason #10
10. I can't wait to see dd Kayla holding a "Go Mommy!" sign at the Disney 1/2!
The Jacksonville Gate River Run 15k/5k was today. Adam and I did the 5k and Kayla did the diaper dash. I set a PR at 39:51!

I broke 40 minutes!

That was secretly my goal since this was our last 5k before attempting a 10k coming in April. Kayla

didn't do so well. She was all set, complete with new nike running shoes and a new pink supergirl jogging suit. We've been practicing Ready, Set, Go! with her all week. But she saw 2 little girls run into each other in the heat before her's and got scared. So it was more of a Ready, Set, Stand There And Cry Your Heart Out!

But for at least trying she got to go jump in the bouncy house and get a doggie balloon hat from the clown.

That more than made up for her traumatic experience.
My race report is really short because I don't remember much of it. I'm right in the middle of a cold (again) and was just focused on putting one foot in front of the other without dying.

Here's what I remember: I picked out the person I wanted to beat at the beginning of the race and actually beat her! Our run/walk intervals worked out perfectly with the hills. Just by chance we got to walk up almost all of them. I got a freaking huge stitch in my side around the 2 mile mark. It was excruciating

but I kept going. And I remember we ran by a place that smelled really gross. And since I breathe through my mouth it was like tasting it. Ick! Ick! Ick!

Then at the end when it was time to do a walk interval I told dh that I wanted to run all the way to the end. He was so supportive and encouraging that I ran 4 min 20 sec without stopping! He's so great!

And that's all I can remember of this race.
At the expo there was a fitness training group called Definition. I talked to the guy and he said all the little key words that I was wanting to hear from a trainer. I'm really looking forward to trying their free consultation and seeing their place. It's not located in an official gym so we don't have to pay for a gym membership! He said they can teach us stuff to do at home and then we can go in for weekly check-ups with them. Sounds promising. I'm ready to give the thinking part of my training

over to someone else and just focus on actually doing it.
My favorite part of the day was watching the end of the 15k. I get seriously teary eyed seeing all the little kids cheering for their Mommies.

I can't even imagine when Kayla gets older and is proud of me.

That's the whole reason I'm doing this.
