My run this Sunday went great! I was so lucky that it was overcast for the first hour of my run! The trail running was fun; it combined my love for hiking with running which I almost love. There were few hills to conquer; two of them pretty steep. I run part of the hill and walked a part of it. It was a very different experiance form running on the road. I had to watch out for the rocks and try not to twist my ankle. All went well. As I predicted it took me over an hour to complete. I felt great, and energized for the rest of the day! My husband and my little boy were at the finish line, waiting for me, giving me an extra jolt of energy to make it. I'm really glad I tried something new.

 

 

Thank you team Active for all the support and training. You guys made a runner out of me!

 

 

My next step will be half marathon.

 

 

Cheers,

 

 

Dorota

Congratulations Dorota! I'm glad you had good weather and the trail was an enjoyable run. It's so nice to have your family waiting at the finish, isn't it? Good luck with the half marathon and good for you for setting your next goal

You are an inspiration!  I am still pregnant, and navigating the waters of my changing body.  I would like to be able to run some races after the baby is born, and I want to get into a good headspace about it NOW!   Thank you for posting your experience and serving as reminder that it can be done!
