Laura Runs the 8K in Record Time!

As many of you know, I have been quite stressed these past few weeks, and obsessing over trivial things, like car seats, etc. However, I feel A LOT better after running the 8K this am in a record (for me) 42 minutes and 43 seconds. I did not walk a single step and was keeping up with the high school students wearing their track uniforms (always a good gauge of your pace during a race). Even though I needed to wake up at 5:15 to get there, as soon as I was standing on Broad Street in the drizzle, I felt a huge sense of pride for just attempting such a thing. It felt so good to get out there and achieve something......just for me! After I finished, I felt like such a rock star. All those runs with dog and baby in the Bugaboo really paid off! Due to the threat of rain and our cars in the shop, my fan club stayed indoors to play, but were there to greet me with smiles when I came home!
