Today I ran my first post-Cooper half marathon...it was not pretty!  Although that may have been more because I didn't train for the race whatsoever than the fact that I had a baby 5 months ago.  I also had to stop to use the bathroom during the race - first time that has ever happened - again, I'd like to blame it on my post-baby bladder...but probably more to do with the fact that I didn't want to wait in the huge line for a port-a-potty before the race.  Oh well.  I wasn't really expecting a great race.  And because I didn't really care about the results of the race, I talked Christian into not staying to watch and cheer me on (although I have to admit, it didn't really take much convincing at all...hmmm...).  All-in-all, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be...I finished before the fastest full marathoners, so I call that a success!

Here I am pre-race when Christian was dropping me off.
