Parkinson's 5k at 28 weeks

Okay this post is out of order but I forgot to write about the 5k I ran last Saturday. In short, it was tough, a lot tougher than the race I ran at La Cantera at 25 weeks. I guess part of what was tough was that it wasn't as cold as it was the day of the La Cantera race, it was a lot more humid. But it was one of those races where instead of feeling good after the first mile it just became more and more difficult to keep a good pace and eventually I did walk for a few seconds in the third mile. I still ran it pretty fast in 30:23. I was however a lot more sore after this race and I was exhausted for about 3 or 4 days after the race so it took a lot out of me. It was fun but I will not be doing any more races this pregnancy. At this point I need to focus on running for enjoyment and not competition, and I want to do more weight lifting and yoga/stretching.
