Hope you enjoy the recap of my first postpartum race! Let me know if there are any videos you'd like to see me do :) Happy running and enjoy!!

[@liamcaveney7448]

Congrats on a great first race back!! Can't wait to see the next one!

[@amyspurrcaveney]

Thank you!! 😊

[@jspurr23]

great recap and good luck at your 10k!

[@amyspurrcaveney]

Thank you!! 😊

[@Dom_Signorile]

Nope, no coffee at all for me, it makes me anxious lol - If we don't hear from y before it, good luck for your upcoming 10k Amy!

[@amyspurrcaveney]

Oh no, that’s too bad! I’m starting to think coffee will be an after run treat haha and thank you!! 😊

[@edwardenman]

Congrats on a great race and happy to have your videos back! I am a pre-race coffee drinker, definitely. A couple of hours before the race though!
Also, you're running Chicago in the fall?! Me too!!

[@amyspurrcaveney]

Thank you!! I’m happy to be back too 😊 oh really?! Liam is running it too! We definitely need to see each other there!

[@edwardenman]

@@amyspurrcaveney That would be fun! We've never been to Chicago before, but I'm very excited.

[@amyspurrcaveney]

We’ve never been either!

[@alanshrimpton6787]

I'm a coffee drinker but normally a couple of hours earlier. It makes me want to pee otherwise. Meanwhile I was so surprised you had an expo for a 5k. Glad you cleared that up with Liam doing the marathon. How did he do? Your 5k was very speedy. You should be proud.

[@amyspurrcaveney]

Coffee has been making me feel a little sick during workouts, so I think I’ll stick to having it after my run as a treat! Haha ya, that would be funny to have an expo for a 5km. Liam had an amazing training build! The course was very hilly and it was a windy day, so his result didn’t show how strong he was but he still did great in my opinion! And thank you! 😊

[@Jnelle4]

Congrats! So glad both you and Liam got to race since the events were split!
I'm very curious your 10k strategy, I'm so bad at it haha! Give me a half over a 10k Any day!

[@amyspurrcaveney]

I know! It worked out perfectly that our races were on different days 😊
I’m still figuring out what my strategy will be 😂 I’ll definitely do a race recap of the 10km and will share what I ended up doing then!!

[@sarahkingston7421]

I signed up for the 10k Bluenose this year. I am excited. I did a 5K in 2014 and have had the bug since then. Ive been training increasingly over the last month and have lots of time..

[@amyspurrcaveney]

That’s super exciting! I hope training is going well so far 😊

[@katwatson007]

Congrats!! I'm now convinced that you shouldn't start anything under 10k conservatively. Especially a 5k; get yourself to 3k quick and then hang on for dear life XD! Way to go!

[@amyspurrcaveney]

Hahah I like this idea! And thank you! 😊
