After months of training weekends with her running group the Red Power Divas and her running partner Joanie S, mommy completed her first half marathon. The morning started really early and very cold but enthusiasm was high for the team in red. There were more than 100 women who committed to train for this event for no other reason than to accomplish a goal and improve their health in the process.
Mommy and Joanie, neither or which were enthusiastic runners in the beginning worked hard together to improve their ability to run for an extended amount of time. In the process each finished their first 5K, 10K, and finally the half marathon. After more than 5 stops during the race to go to the potty (she really took getting hydrated seriously), mommy and Joanie finished in under 3 hours.
I was made an honorary diva and attended all of the events including the kick off party for the race where we all carb-loaded (that was great!!!). I was very supportive, even occasionally training with mommy when mommy felt like pushing the stroller during her run. I liked when she ran fast so I made lots of noise to tell her to "Keep It Up"!!!
After it was over, we were all very happy. I have the #1 mommy!!!
