I started writing an actual recap, then Emma got up mid-nap to hand me her hair clip and my post disappeared. So you can thank her for sparing us all the boring, overly dramatic details. I went out too fast, then I slowed down, then I got a ton of energy in the last mile and managed to pick it up for the last 1.1 miles.
Thank goodness for Shower Pill- I was able to do a quick wipedown after my race and feed Natalie immediately. She usually eats every 2 hours during the day, so I didn’t want to keep her waiting but also wanted to make sure I was free of any germs I may have picked up in the porta potties or finish line area. I was happy to share the ShowerPill love with some other runners in the awards area after the race as well. Use code WIPEDOWN for 15% off at showerpill.com
Both kids are up now, so that’s all I’ve got! Feeling good!
oh great job! I love this recap!
Thanks Tessa! You know… the struggle of getting back into shape 😉
nice to see the mile splits…not too bad on the even part, not quite the negative splits we wanted, the last mile and 0.1 is a great sign of things to come! You’re on your way Mollie. Stockade/ TTT?
notice mile 1, 7,8,10, and 13 are all very nicely bunched. What was your final average pace? got a little frisky mile 2-6 (feeling your old self!) paid the price mile 9, 11 and 12 but actually a nicely paced race!! sorry for the double comment!
7:33 average- yeah I was running with another woman in the beginning and she started picking it up and I didn’t want to slow down… I wish I was able to hold back like we talked about. I will learn eventually!
that’s a nice family pix of you guys
