Mother’s Day

May 11, 2010

What a Mother’s Day! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by doing what I love with the kid I love so much. Team M&M (Miles&Momma) ran the Title 9k in Boulder. I registered in the “Mother with Baby Jogger” category.  Ha!

Mother's Day 9k-3

It wasn’t easy pushing him for 6+ miles. Uphills. On dirt road and trail. Trying to dodge and scoot around and not hit any of the other runners out there.  I thought for sure the little guy would fall asleep as soon as we started rolling, but nope.  I could see his little feet kick out and hear him squealing with excitement.   It was really cute.

Sunny skies, warm weather, great views, great friends… it was a great day.

Lessons Learned:

  • Very hard to ‘race’ with a stroller. 
  • The BOB is a popular running stroller.  I lined up next to two other women with the exact same stroller.  Same color and all.
  • M likes races.
  • I miss running.  Need to do it more.

::The Name::

Five Baht Elephant. My mother is from Thailand, where elephants are royal animals. Growing up Mom would tell us to save our pennies, "in case a man came to our door selling elephants." At the time we thought it was the most absurd thing ever. Now I realize it was the Thai version of saving for a rainy day. Lets hope that we can buy an elephant for only five baht!
