great Peachtree 10k Road Waddle 6.2 mi 01:44 16:46 pace

Peachtree went way better than expected! We ran at the start, ran the downhills, and ran the end after the turn onto 10th. I did have some waddling moments on the larger uphills, with Jeremy encouraging me (a role reversal) to keep going, but I still passed people at the end and that felt good. Even though Jeremy and I walked most of it this year, and I stopped at every water station, we didn't finish much behind last year's time.
Once I got started running, I felt fine, but thinking about those first few steps felt daunting. And the pooch felt kind of sore when we stopped; my need to find a support belt is starting to get critical in order to keep running!
Might need to find a longer or larger running shirt or two- couldn't do the "arms raised in victory (and to ruin other runner's race photos)" pose without exposing the pooch.
Overall, a great race to fill out the 5k, 10k, and half marathon set this kid's already done!

    True! Though it did seem better than predicted last night- no pop-up morning showers. :)
