Yesterday I got to run with this sweet girl at her Girls on the Run race! I gave her run lessons two summers ago and look at her now! Today was so fun and I was so flattered she asked me to be her running buddy for the race!

You're always proud to see an athlete you coach reach goals and set PR's but that feeling is definitely amplified when it's your baby! Congrats to my daughter who ran her first in-person Half Marathon today at age 14! 18 minute PR over her virtual race when her first half got canceled in 2020! This girl always follows the plans I give her to a T. She put in the work and it paid off today, even in single digit windchills!
