My SIL did not go into labor on Friday night or Saturday morning and actually welcomed our niece this morning (DH & I missed her arrival by 12 hours! Super bummed we returned home only a few hours too early!). I'm so glad I decided to run the 5K on Saturday and I successfully ran my first post knee surgery race without any knee pain!!! Yay! That was my only goal! It was the first race I ran with my little sister and it was really awesome to race with her. ![]()
I was nowhere near a PR (my official time was 27:39) but I feel so relieved to have that "first" race under my belt and in nearly a year I made sure to ice my knee afterward but it feels great and of all things, my quads are a little sore. I can't wait to start increasing my mileage and sign up for another 10K in May.
Re: F/U to race or not race
Yay, so glad that it all worked out for you!
