In just three days, I’m doing it again. Running another half-marathon
that is. I’ll be running this one solo but given the friendly
camaraderie at races I have run in the past, I am sure to enjoy myself.
It remains to be seen how well/or poorly I will run compared to the Tiarathon, but I am ready to run.

Y’all should know that I’m not the only bad mother runner running
this weekend in Northern California. My dear friend Jenn will be
running with some more awesome, local moms for a very good cause. These
lovely ladies, all wives, moms, sisters of local law enforcement, will
be running the Foot Pursuit in memory of the fallen and to benefit the Police Officers Memorial Group of Stanislaus County.
This is an organization and cause very close to Jenn’s heart as she
kisses her handsome man good-bye everyday that he goes out to work.

My Tiarathon room mate, Kari, will be running a wild and crazy, two day run from the Napa Valley to Santa Cruz with a small group of awesome blogging ladies to benefit Organs R Us.
I was so disappointed that I could not accept their invitation but
knowing that I’ll be running somewhere under the great California sky
with them and Jenn makes me feel pretty good to know that I am not the
only bad mother runner out there.

And just in case anyone is scratching their heads over what to get
me, or perhaps any of these awesome mother runners for Mother’s Day, this t-shirt is pretty cool. I’m just saying…
