Run Like a Mother -1 mile run
This past Mother’s Day I attended the inaugural the Run Like A Mother 5K, at Island Metropark on May 13th. My middle daughter Jocelyn and ran the 1 Mile fun run together. I can not think of a better way to start off Mother’s Day than running with one of my girls.
As a mother I try not to play favorites among my kids, but this one happens to be my mini-me, and I am super proud of her for running strong today.
We finished in 11:39, which isn’t our fastest, but is pretty good for a 5 year old.
What a wonderful way to celebrate motherhood, by participating in this event with other mother runners.
Perhaps next year I will run the 5k too. I think I may be fairly competitive in a race specifically for moms. This race was well organized and look like a lot of fun. Finishers of the 5k also received a bag, tech shirt, and a medal and flower at the finish line. There were awards for the top finishers.
I am blessed to be their mom. I am especially happy that all three of my daughters like to run, and I look forward to creating many more special memories running with each of my girls.
Happy Mother’s Day!
