Freeze Your Thorns Off 5k "race" report

Today was the date of the long-awaited Freeze Your Thorns Off 5k, hosted by The Boring Runner. I did my "race" as part of a slightly longer Saturday "long" run, but made sure to stop at the 5k mark and record my finish.

New PR? Not even close. Not even my fastest 3.1 this week. But you know what, this was what I had in me today, and that is more than ok! I am, after all, just days shy of being 7 months pregnant. Here are some more pictures from the "finish line" (which to any onlooker looked like a random spot on the running path).

Feeling groovy. And sparkly.

My silhouette at the "finish line". This picture was harder to take than it looks!

I finished out my run at about 4.75 miles and a huge smile on my face. It definitely is not about speed at this point. It's about feeling good and enjoying being healthy. Thanks, Boring Runner, for spicing up my Saturday run!

In my opinion that is not only a PB but an overall (future moms) record. Brava.
