unnofficial results and random rambles

so i checked the unofficial results a little bit more closely and found out
1)chip time 1:48;14 which is an 8:15 pace
2) 4/40 in AG...and the gal in front of me was not in AG-(she was younger)the #3 gal in AG was 1:41 something-i was 4th by a mile...literally!
3) 117/526 overall
4)21/228 female
5)my pacer buddy Rich was only about a minute behind me,and i was off on his age by 10yrs...geez I'm horrible at guessing ages!!!
6)i was probably off a bit in my mile splits from last post-those are guesstimates after the 3rd mile...but mile 9 was right at 1:11:11....
:)

anyways,the above pic-my new,shoes the finishers medal and 13.1 sticker which is now proudly placed on the back of the rear window!

hindsight is always 20/20 after a race,especially in regards to not doing as well as hoped.
i know i wasn't prepared for that 1/2! and id be lying if i said i wasn't disappointed in myself.but cant do anything about it now except focus on getting better from here.
I'm still planning on a PR in 2011,hopefully with both 5k and 1/2 times....I'm also hoping 2011 holds good things for figure shows.....
training starts in 7 WEEKS!!!!
i am 21 weeks out now for an IFPA pro show May 7th.
hopefully 20 weeks from an NGA pro show in April...
typically i can get by with 8 weeks of prep,but this time around I'm giving myself 12/13 weeks. bouncing back from this baby is proving harder than i expected.
now granted,I'm fitting back in all my old clothes,but I'm not back to where i want to be just yet (and where i want to be,which i WILL be in 7 weeks) is back to my "normal" self-back to being "in shape" (my version of in shape,which translates to a 6 pack,being able to pop out 10 unassisted pullups at any given moment,and having my speed back to where i was prepregnancy.....


wouldn't trade a minute of being pregnant because the end result is priceless:


lil M singing to mommy
and lil M laughing

and a random post about babies,figure comps and races wouldn't be complete without a picture to show where i put all my keepsakes from the races and shows:

the left is racing/running stuff,the middle is my husbands trophies and my swords for figure and the far right is figure stuff....

2011 will be a good year to add more hardware!!!

more random stuff-

it snowed here,a whole inch and some,and schools were on a 2hr delay. that means that i couldn't go to the gym bc school time was an hour later than my scheduled gym time and child care for M.

so no gym today but will pick it back up tomorrow!

did anyone else get snow?
