Today was a BIG day at our house. Kayla ran her first 5k this afternoon. We have been training for it since August and she did fabulous! She had to stop once at about the 1/2 mile mark to adjust her sock that slid down her heel but other than that she never walked. It was raining for the first part of the race but we weren't letting that stop us. She has trained too hard! She finished in 34:40 and then decided to run the 1 mile fun run and finished in 9:13:) She didn't want me to run it with her so I let her run it alone. She LOVED running today and I think we might just have a runner on our hands. Having a running buddy is fun:)
That is so awesome!!! Was this with Girls on the Run? I volunteered this year to run with a girl that did not have a race partner, and it was SO much fun! I definitely want to do it again. I think it's so inspiring that you did this with your daughter. Thanks so much for all your support and encouragement with the half marathon! I definitely am going to try it again and not give up. And PS you look so skinny and amazing!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! What a great healthy role model you have become!!! Your daughter should be proud of herself.
