Great Race Weekend

This weekend was the Great Race in Pittsburgh, which is a 10K (6.2 miles.) Travis and I went over to Pittsburgh yesterday to stay with my sister Lindsey, and Kelsey who's also staying there. Lindsey and I went to the race expo yesterday, then visited Kelsey at the coffee shop where she was working. Afterwards, we picked up Travis and went to the Olive Garden for our pre-race pasta dinner!

The race was this morning, and I ran it with my both my sisters and Travis. For the record (since the dates are very confusing, even for me) I'm 18 weeks and 3 days pregnant today. The weather was perfect - about 60-65 and partly cloudy, which is slightly rare for this race (normally it rains.) I ran part of the race with my sisters, and part by myself. It was actually really nice not to have a time goal and just try to run the whole thing and finish (which I did.) Overall, I felt really good during the race, tried to watch my heartrate, and had a really great experience. Although I was proud of myself for doing it, I think I'll be sticking to 3 or 4 miles as my long runs from here on out.
