Thanks everyone! I think my competive racing break was exactly what I needed to get motivated again. I have always heard you come back stronger after having babies and I totally believe it. I feel so much stronger than I did before! Thanks again for all the great comments!

Whaaahooo!! Four months ago you had a baby? "WOW" is all I have to say. What is in store for next year? I can't wait to see you shatter the 3 hour mark!

From James on Sun, Oct 04, 2009 at 23:47:43 from 174.23.35.13

You are one amazing little thing! You tore it up after having a baby. That 3 hour mark will fall soon.

From Peggy on Mon, Oct 05, 2009 at 10:57:35 from 71.213.40.211

From julieesplin on Thu, Oct 08, 2009 at 15:38:28 from 75.169.165.41

4 months post baby I'm still fat and running 8 min miles! 3 hrs is great even when you haven't just had a baby!

From scotthughes on Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 23:13:53 from 209.33.211.3

That is an amazing time! Congrats to you. Maybe I should take some time off and have a baby.......well that's not going to happen. But if that is what it would take to run a 3:00 it may be worth figuring out. LOL
