Racing after being pregnant is an interesting experience. To avoid embarassing myself with slower postpartum times, I have opted to push the jogging stroller for races until I feel fast enough to race again. I decided to push my almost 2 year old daughter in a 5k for a race a few months after my son was born. We arrived at the race in plenty of time to get ready (my husband was running as well while a friend watched our son). My daughter insisted on me holding her prior to the race and was especially needy that morning. We lined up at the start and when I went to put her in the jogger, she had a complete meltdown and refused to sit in the seat. I was wrangling her arms while my husband attempted to strap her in when we heard the gun go off. I snapped the final buckle and took off, my daughter screaming but trapped safely in the confines of the jogger. Much to the dismay of everyone I passed (or who passed me), she screamed for at least the first mile.
