My Busy Weekend – Part 2: Mommy Runs a Half Marathon

by Maile Girl on October 19, 2009

So Sunday morning started out strangely too. First, when I woke up at 3:15 AM, daddy came to feed me instead of mommy. I was so excited to see daddy that I pooped my diaper 3 times and then I stayed up and chatted with him until 4:30 AM. (Dad note: this is true and I didn’t have nearly as much fun as Maile did…)

Then when I woke up at 7:30 AM, Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal were there, but mommy was still nowhere to be seen. I started getting a little nervous, but then daddy explained to me that mommy was currently out running the Nike Women’s Half Marathon. 13.1 miles – that’s almost one mile for every week that I’ve been alive!

Daddy and I quickly whipped up a sign for mommy and then we all headed out to meet her at the finish line…

I roll everywhere, so clearly I'm impressed by anyone that can run 13.1 miles!

Pretty sure any of these people would trade places with me in a second...

It took a little while, but we finally found mommy at the finish. She did great – we were so proud of her. I couldn’t stop looking at her. We went home and I had her tell me all about the run. Then I told her how I made daddy change my diaper 3 times at 3:45 in the morning. Then we both had a good laugh.

I was so proud of mommy - she is definitely my hero!
