I found out last week from one of my friends that I go running with there is a 10K in town. So, the white runners in our city decided to participate. Now, people in Indonesia already think I'm a crazy white lady. However, when they see a white lady running, especially a race like a 10K, then I know they think I went bonkers. The big question I got from people were, "Is it ok that you are running?" Yes, as long as I was running before the pregnancy and as long as I feel healthy to run.
I'm really glad that I ran, but I think a 10K is my maximum for running pregnant. This was my first 10K and I had a great time. I came in at 1 hour and shy of 8 minutes (about an 11 minute mile). Upon finishing, I was interviewed by a few people, one being a local television anchor. I got asked questions such as this, "You are running while pregnant? Is this ok? You are not afraid? Does your husband know that you are running?" They were in a bit of shock and awe.
