What a fun day today. Met Jody and ran 3.4 miles out to the finish line to catch the buses. Told my husband and Jody earlier that I thought I could pull off a 45 with the downhill but wasnt going to push myself to make it happen but would be happy with anything since I am just so dang happy that I still running and feeling great. Felt great the entire race, saw KellieS and talked to her for a split second while running(and lots of other bloggers before and after the race)Ended up coming in at 45 flat. Was very happy with that. Saw TONS of friends and chatted and had my belly rubbed alot. My little guy is a trooper to put up with getting jostled around all the time! Ran back to my in-laws after the race to cool down. Now I am going to relax and veg out today!

Oh and I am SO SO HAPPY that my good friend AmberG (on the blog) WON for the womens and that Dustin took the title for the mens. Good job both of you!!!

You don't mind people rubbing your belly? How far along are you?

Great job on the race!

GREAT job Marcie!!! You are kickin' butt and takin' names while pregnant! That is cool.

Burt I am almost 24 weeks so about 6 months. I always thought pregnancy was 9 ms but its more like 10. Doesnt make sense but oh well! Thanks for your complement!

Great job Marcie! You passed me around mile 5. I wanted to try and stay with you but I was spent from my pre race workout....

You're very inspiring.

From josse on Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 15:09:41 from 70.193.109.57

Great job Marcie. You are so awesome!!! I don't know if I could even run that fast right now. I think the babies love the running, it is liked being rocked.

From Marion on Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 17:59:18 from 71.213.107.184

Great race! You should name the baby Spectrum ;) Kinda cool :) Most excellent time :)

From Jon on Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 20:10:27 from 75.169.138.168

45 minutes while 6 months pregnant? Most impressive. Good job.

From Dustin on Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 23:13:21 from 209.33.192.10

Great Job Marcie, sorry I didn't meet up with you after the race. You are still running great! You need to come to a club run sometime.

From MichelleL on Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 11:09:16 from 67.41.191.61

Great job Marcie! I never did that well in my pregnancies, you're going to bounce back so well. I say name him Marrett, or Garcie :D

From Christi on Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 16:36:32 from 71.32.239.118

Congrats speedy! I'd like to see a pic of you running all cute & prego! 24 weeks already wow- really goes by fast when its someone else's pregnancy (LOL). Great job on the race! You rule!

From twinkies on Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 17:57:16 from 207.155.176.10

Amazing...absolutely amazing.

From josse on Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 19:30:11 from 70.192.23.85

Funny Michelle, Jade is a mix of Wade and Josse. We didn't even notice that until after she was born.

From Amber on Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 00:25:16 from 64.255.88.143

I agree with everyone else . . . you're AMAZING Girl!!! Seriously, I'm sure you get sick of hearing it, but it's true! Great run and fab time! I was laughing at the name ideas for the little one . . . Marrett or Garcie? ? Spectrum? love it! How fun you can tell him about all the runs you did with him towed along via womb! THanks for the encouragement pre-race, you gave me a little confidence boost. Great run again, , , I had to do a double take when I saw you coming in so flippin fast :) Maybe you should name the little guy Fast! I tell my kids that's my middle name . . . they don't believe me:)

From kellies on Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 13:12:52 from 160.7.238.59

Hey Marcie, I am just tuning in for the first time since Saturday! It was good to see you on Saturday and chat for a bit. You did awesome, I can't believe how strong you are running with your little baby in tow! You are amazing! I am proud of you. Keep up the good work and keep us all posted on how your pregnancy is going. That little guy is going to be one tough cookie. Maybe you should name him Cookie? Any takers? :)

From MarcieJ on Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 21:21:23 from 74.211.1.247

THanks everyone for all the wonderful comments!!! I know I would not be running through this if I wouldnt have joined the blog over a year ago.It has taught me more about running than I ever thought I would know and I figure if I survived all those runs with the Wildbull and Mike that I should be able to run through a pregnancy LOL! As for names, you all had some great ones but I think our top pick for his name is going to be something simple like Taylor. Maybe I will have to use one of your suggestions for a middle name:)

Way to go Marci! Great to hear your still out rollin'. Keep healthy.
