Running Diva Mom's Virtual Race for Girls on the Run

Those of you that follow my journey will recall I announced back in April (HERE) that I would be a hosting a 1 mile virtual race that benefits Girls on the Run. Entry fee was only $1 and would benefit my journey as a Sole Mate for GOTR at the Madison Marathon on May 30th.

I really am grateful to everyone the entered and who has supported me along the way. If you haven't already done so, please post/email me your "race report". I have enjoyed everyone's posts and seeing how some of you have gotten your families involved! That makes me so incredibly happy!

A link to everyone's race reports and photos ... and the winners of the fantastic prizes!!! .... will be announced later this week.

I cheated a bit and ran our one mile race this morning. I couldn't really fit it in with my marathon training this week and all of the craziness life has thrown at us lately.

We're Running Like a Girl ...
for Girls on the Run
I followed our one mile run with a 5K on the treadmill, with both of them playing along side me. Daddy was out on a 3 hour bike ride, training for his upcoming 1/2 Ironman. We spent 8 hours by the pool and sprinkler. I have a bit of a sunburn (they do not!). Little Dude went in the potty today. Thank you everyone for your wonderful, supportive comments regarding what life has thrown at us lately. Things were looking up today and hubby has several interviews and second interviewes lined up this week. We are hopeful. In the meantime, I'm enjoying getting outside with the kids and the extra free time I have with them, while tapering this week.
ONE WEEK TO GO!!!

  2. Ran the GOTR 5K this morning with my daughter and 5,998 other girls and their buddies in Northern Virginia. It was great, but a little wet.
    Enjoy the tapering.

  3. Cute posing in your family. I love your little guy wearing the bondi-band. Mine did the same thing today with a headband (he "just wanted to try it") and now wants me to buy one for him.

  12. I love your running pictures with your kiddos and you. Absolutely darling. I think kids really like it when their folks are just out there running around and spending time together. Those will be treasured memories.
