Training Day

Brushing my teeth this morning, Grace wondered, " Mommy, are you going to run a half marathon one day? How about a marathon?" Together with Grace, in our tiny powder room, I was proud to be runner for so many reasons. To be honest, I did start running because I wanted to give my four children something to see me do, besides being their mom. I wanted them to watch me work very hard at something and witness the ups and downs along the way. I wanted them to feel pride as they watched me cross a finish line. Most of all, I wanted to inspire them to set their own goals and exceed them. A half marathon? Probably. A marathon? Maybe some day.


Did you run today?

P.S. Did you guess the author of my blog title on the 12th? If you chose Edgar Allan Poe, you are correct.
