The title of this post was derived from the words of a very wise friend of mine in response to me completing this race on Saturday. While most people would not have viewed my time of 1:16 as stellar I happen to be very proud of myself.
It has been over a year since I have run more than 3 miles at any given time. In addition to that, Megan Grace was born just 13 weeks ago today so the fact that I even completed the race puts a smile on my face.
So yea, maybe I did cry due to frustration somewhere around mile 3 or 4 when I was pretty sure I was LAST since my goal was specifically to not finish LAST. Good news. I did not finish LAST.
That would have been horrible.
On another positive note. I'm wearing a pair of PRE PREGNANCY pants today! This totally makes all the hard work worth it although I still have quite a bit of hard work ahead of me.
Thank you to all the wonderful ladies (and gentlemen) who cheered me on during the race Saturday. Each one of you helped keep me going at one time or another and for that I am grateful.
