RnR San Jose was perfect! I had the two best cheerleaders in the whole world, the temperature outside was awesome, the course was flat and I got to explore my new city.
My Garmin time was 1:31:45 but I still can’t find the results online yet… I struggle.
***edited to add… I found the results online finally:
I will have my race recap up in the morning but right now I have to work on refueling with really healthy food and multiple bowls of cereal
and cuddling this little girl that sacrificed her normal morning activities of sleeping, tummy time and looking at the squirrels outside our window to come and cheer me on this morning.
Hope you are having an amazing Sunday!

Girlie you are so awesome and fast – but most of all congrats!!! on your first post-baby race – you inspire me!!
What Garmin is that which you have? It is so cool that it will show you all of that information at once – I want one! :) Do you wear a heart monitor with it or is it just the watch? Love love love :)
Have a relaxing Sunday!

CONGRATS!!! That is incredible!! Im hoping for the low 1:30s for my next half! I ran 8 miles with my friend today in the BAA half marathon- her first! My only regret was not signing up for myself and just running the whole thing- San Jose looks gorgeous!

Chelsie @ Balance, Not Scale
Congrats Janae!! As if you ran a 1:31 after just giving birth and only running for a few weeks! Wow. I am truly blown away!!
Your speed will be back with a vengeance in NO time. I have absolutely no doubt about that.

You are incredible! So happy to hear the race went well! With such a cutie cheerleader how could it not?! Can’t wait for the recap. I have only heard good things about the RnR’s so far. Congrats again!
Tausha
Thats crazy fast. I ran my first full marathon this morning in Long Beach (about 5:37). I would live to be able to run as fast as you. And post baby no less. But seeing as how 19 months ago I didnt run at all and weighed 60 pounds more, I’ll take my time. Congrats and welcome to San Jose. I live about 10 miles north in Fremont!!
Janae
Wow!!!! Congratulations! You already ran a marathon after starting running 19 months ago?! You are incredible!

Wow! You are so fast! I can’t even dream to be that quick! Congrats on your first post baby race! Enjoy your It’s It!

Irene
I can’t believe how fast you are Janae! Congratulation! When I run my first half next weekend, I will think of you running your legs off two months after having a baby when I get tired and want to stop. Way to go!
Sarah
Holy Cannoli Girlfriend! You are amazing! I mean… serious inspiration :D I ran 14 miles this morning at an 8:46 pace. Okay but not what I was hoping for. I was supposed to run the B.A.A Half in Boston this morning and thought the race was at 10 but it started at 8:30!!! :( I was so bummed. I was supposed to run it last year too but I had a stress fracture. I guess I am just no destined to run the B.A.A half!? haha but I had an awesome 14 miles along the Boston Marathon route :D
BTW have you ever had a Cannoli? They are amazing and Boston has the best!
Alaina
Congratulations Janae!!! That is an amazing time!! I’ve ran 4 half marathons and am just trying to beat 2 hours! I finally beat the 10 minute mile pace (running my last at a 9:49 pace). I guess it’s baby steps. :-P
penny@herworldlypleasures
Woah Janae! That’s damn impressive time!! I’d kill to run that fast! Congrats and well done girl!!

michelle kim
THAT IS AN AMAZING TIME! I got a PR (but now 1:41 doesn’t seem nearly as cool as your 1:31!). I can’t believe you just had a BABY!
STUFT Mama
Janae- You rocked it. You are awesome. I am inspired. My boys want to hang out with your little one. Hope you got lots of cuddle time and cereal. :) (Why is this comment just short sentences? I have no idea. It’s late.)
Michelle
Janae – my two worlds collided when I realized my friends in the Air Force rock band Mobility played for your marathon today – congrats on a fantastic run!
Fiona Macneil
Amazing!! Well done!! Now please share with us the secret of running that fast!! Do you just run that fast and ignore the pain? Do you like the pain? Do your legs just naturally go fast? Is it just a result of a consistent running career? Does it take years to get up to speeds like this? xx
Tonya
Wow! Amazing pace!!! And what a cute cheerleader!!!
Kara
