5 months after giving birth to child number two, our daughter not only ran a marathon but...........

had a time good enough she has qualified for the Grandaddy of them all, The Boston Marathon!!

On one hand I am so proud!! On the other hand she just might be slap plumb nuts!!πŸ˜‚

She has a couple of black toe nails that may be coming off from the after effects of this marathon.

This marathon was hard enough on her that she has said this race is her last ever marathon except for running Boston.

I'm trying to talk her into going back to the 800 meters which was her best event in high school and college, earning her school records at both HS and college.

    Our neighbor lady runs marathons. She ran several while pregnant with her third and more right after. Typically finishes in the top five women. Her "light" training days are 10-milers.

    On my better days, I can manage a half-mile walk on the treadmill. What a difference a half century makes, huh?

    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    5 months to run a marathon??? And I thought I was slow! 🀣

    Seriously, congrats on qualifying for Boston. That's quite an accomplishment.

    The Carolina Reaper is a 50K in August here in S.C. Three years ago our daughter ran this 50k when the temperature was in the 90s!!

    8 1/2 months later Brady, her first child was born. She was pregnant while running the Reaper.

    Brady is not hyper but he is always busy. I wonder why???😁
