Week 6: Still not feeling so hot…

At the beginning of school, I had signed up to run a 5k race with many of my Atlanta International School colleagues- the Kaiser Permanente Corporate Challenge. As race day got closer, and I wasn’t feeling any better from the exhaustion and nausea of morning sickness, I knew that although it was only 3 miles, it may very well be one of the hardest races I’ve ever run. I had always chalked that award up to the Nashville half marathon in record breaking heat, but this little 5k definitely was a challenge. Alongside one of my running buddies, Nicole, it was a little tough constantly asking to stop so I could catch my breath. Between Nicole and Patrick, they stuck with me all along the way. They had no idea how much that meant to me! Anyways, I happily finished the race, and at six weeks pregnant:)
