Mom nails her 1st Half Marathon

Mom and dad along with Alida and several of her friends entered last weekend's half marathon in Las Veags. Unfortunately Ali stubbed and broke her pinky toe 6 weeks ago while not recovering in time for race with Dad having issues as well, leaving mom at the start line.

Mom did her best training on the hills around their home in Fairmont. She would tell me she does not have any expectations being such a long distance. I assured her keep pounding those hills and you will be fine in the flats of Vegas.

Sure enough Mom nailed the race, she placed 5th out of 65 in her age group. 65 years old and running 22 km's. WE ARE ALL SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

At the start

An amazing job mom, you are an inspiration to all of us!!
