So, this past Wednesday was my last running class. We were to run the mile for the last time and the goal was to beat our time. It was soooo hot on Wednesday, over 110 and the air quality was horrible due to the fires.
Anywhoo, I picked up Maren from her friend Maci's house (the girl beside her in the picture) and I told Maren that I was going to drop her off at the house and then head to my running class.
Maren asked me, "Mom, are you a good runner?"
I said, "no, Maren, I'm not"
Maren, "well Mom, maybe running just isn't your talent. You need to find something that you are good at! What are you good at Mom?"
"I don't know Maren, what do you think I am good at?"
silence for a moment and then she answered, "I think you are good at being a mom!"
My heart about burst and I thought, I could totally screw up this run tonight and I would be just fine because my daughter thinks I am good at being a mom!
But, I cut off another 12 seconds-I think I cut off almost 3 minutes from the very first mile we did on the first day of class-I'll take it!
