yeah, so I did the race. it wasn't as much fun as I was expecting... everyone in the pics always looks like they're having a blast. they must not be runners who like to run competitively (not that I do a lot of races, but after the spring run off back in april, this was completely different) because it is not at all meant for those types of ppl, unless you manage to get one of the very first waves. it was beyond frustrating to have to weave around so many ppl, ppl with strollers, ppl stopping in front of you, ppl not moving to the side (like advised at the start) to allow for runners to easily go around them. ANNOYING!!! I definitely won't be doing it again. I've now learned the difference between races organized by ppl who enjoy the sport and ppl who just want the money out of it. i'm glad I went for the experience, but i'll stick to better organized races from now on.

I had the added stress of trying to keep my pregnancy under wraps... it wasn't exactly easy wearing clingy running clothes plus not having run much lately because of how busy we've been with the house. I needed to take a lot more breaks than I normally would, but I absolutely didn't want to overdo it so early on, but I couldn't say that to her... it was fine though, I just complained a lot of being out of shape ; )
