13.1 Has Nothin On Us

We did it!! Together, you and I completed the inaugural Nike Women's Half Marathon in Washington, DC! And we did much better than I thought. I did have to stop twice to use the potty--which I've never done before during a race--and I stopped for several photos. But my time was pretty standard for me (except for that one race when I was really thin and had a fabulous laser treatment on my knee the night before, but that is beside the point).

There was only one time during the second half of the race that I slowed WAY down, because I thought my heart was beating too fast and I got worried about you. And I apologized to you several times for all the jostling around you were getting. Hopefully, it didn't bother you too much. I was also wondering how you were feeling during the flight to DC. Because as we were landing, I was getting pretty queasy. So you'll have to tell me all about what it was like for you later.

It was definitely a wonderful, unique experience. I'm glad you were only 18 weeks along and not more, like a couple others that I saw on the course. Not sure how I would have done if you were any bigger! But, for now--and probably for a long time--I'm done running. It was fun while it lasted, but I need a break. Time to start gearing up for YOUR arrival! Woohoo!

Love you, Baby!

Terrible shot, but what can ya do??
