Bibbidi Bobbidi Babies!: Race Recap

So, as most of you may have read, I did the Walt Disney World Inaugural 10k on Friday, January 10th. I felt a little nauseous, but was confident I could do well. I would run with a few of my friends and we'd all have a blast and it would be a great time. Well, that was the plan, anyway. It didn't really happen that way.

I started out strong and ran for a decent amount of time after I crossed the start lines with my friends. Then, we settled into our intervals of 1/:30. In case you don't know, that means you run for a minute, then walk for 30 seconds. We got past the 1-mile marker together and then we saw the first water stop. It was about that time that I realized that I had to stop doing intervals that way. I was getting dizzy and nauseous, all at the same time. So, I slowed down. I ended up walking a large majority of the last 5 miles. I didn't stop for any characters and there were a few times I wanted to just stop altogether, but I knew I'd regret it, so I kept going. I passed some of my fellow mamas and got high-fives, which helped a lot. The humidity was rough, but being pregnant was harder, I think.

My next race is the Celebration Half Marathon on January 26th. I'll be racing with lots of my mamas and I know they'll help me get through it. That's what we do. I'm looking forward to it. It'll be my second half. While I'd love to finish in 2:45, I'll be lucky to finish under 3 if I still feel like this. The doctor is supposed to be calling in medication for me today, so I'm hoping to have it in my system by the time I run.

Here are a few of the official pictures from mine and Matt's races! You can tell he had a lot more fun than I did! They only got one decent picture of me, but got a lot of him. :)
