Happy Mother's Day to our mom and to all the moms out there! In keeping our blog focused on running, I started thinking of some of the many ways that our mom has supported our love of running over the years. 1. She has purchased countless pairs of running shoes, tights, shorts, etc. There was even a time in the 80s that she made our running tights. Our mom is a great seamstress! 2. Mom goes to every running event that she can make it to for my sister, for me, and now for our children. This has included cross country meets, track meets, 5K races, half marathons, and marathons. (She actually just called me from a track meet that my niece is participating in today and she already watched my nephew run at a different track meet that was also held today.) 3. She sympathizes with our running woes. When we are tired, injured, or just not motivated, she is there to listen and give encouragement. 4. When we visit her house, she offers to watch our children so Missee and I can go out for a run. 5. She always tells us that we do well, even if we don't have a good race. One of her favorite compliments to tell us that we were the cutest ones in the race. :) I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned. To get ready for the 12 mile race in July, I am planning a nine mile long run tomorrow. It should be a wonderful day to get out and enjoy the sunshine!
Happy Running! -Stephanie
