Montreal Marathon 2012

So, today I ran my second 10km KM ever. It was 4.5 months after the birth of our Layla Rose. I never thought I would be able to do it, and have onyl trained for it for the passed 6 weeks. But after a lot of mental battling along the way and with the UNBELIEVABLE support of the people lining the streets who cheer you on even though they don't know who you are, I crossed the finish line 79 minutes after I started. I won't lie i cried a little bit, not really believing I was at the end. Last year Layla was sleeping snuggly in my tummy, this year she was sleeping in her daddy's arms.

Momma 79 minutes later!

I want to thank the random woman who paced me the last 2 km and helped me keep my pace, the crazy cool fans who cheered me on and especially Eric, who supported me every painful step of the way. Next year, it will be a family affair!!

Little dragon visits the hospital...

So we had our first run to the children's hospital today. Layla Rose, our little dragon is able to roll over and she moves like a ninja and she rolled off the lawn chair in the back yard. Needless to say I felt like CRAP since I was watching her. Of course I bundled her right up and off we went to the children's. I made it there in full traffic in 35 min...go me. So firstly, AWESOME waititng room, with plenty for the kids and cool water lights to distract babies. We were through triage in 10 min, in with the doctor in another 15 and then in radiology 30 min later. At 8pm she fell asleep, 30 min later the doctor gave us the go ahead to leave. All in all 2hrs for everything, I was SUPER impressed, had we gone to the Lakeshore we would most likely still be there waiting.

Even though it was just a little fall, it was our first big scare and I am really happy to know that the care at the children's is so FANTASTIC. They also did a lot to reassure Momma :) Phew...I am glad that is over, now 72 hrs of calm and rest. I wish that was my prescription too :)
