I've talked about her before- in this post. She always makes me laugh and is the reason for my continued sanity at work. Without her perspective, humor and kind heart many of my days would be disastrous. I think I play the same role for her.
Today she ran in her 1st ever 1/2 marathon.
It makes me tired to even type that.
She and her mom ran together- isn't that fabulous??
The only marathon that my mom and I could ever participate in were those involving shopping (love ya Ma).
I am so proud of BOTH of them!
The weather was sort of rainy....and a little chilly. That didn't stop people from running or fans from coming out in droves to offer support.
Cooper and his friend P made signs to show support for Diana and her mom (who goes by XL- I think her real name is spelled Xuan Lan).
P asked me what the winner of the race would receive- I wasn't really sure and said, "well, maybe some money but I'm sure a trophy or a ribbon". He's creative that one. Cooper is all about business- Go Mrs. Brown. Short, sweet and to the point.
Of course, waiting for them to run by was not the highlight of the morning.
Luckily, this guy ran by.....and boosted spirits for at least 5 minutes.
And just a little while later, we saw them!!
I was screaming and cheering, and XL was running by trying to explain to the boys that "she was XL". It was so great!
I am so thrilled for them- and so incredibly proud of the goal that Diana set and met for herself.
WAY TO GO ladies!!!!
