Mami's marathon report

Uh oh. Bad week for mami. I didn't see her go run once. Or go to the gym.

As a matter of fact, she came home from work when I was in bed so I guess she had lots to do at her office. She is being sponsored by Nestle Pure Life for the London Marathon and she knows she had better get running or else!

But yesterday despite the cold rain, mami got up and got ready to go for a run. And papi was dressed in his running clothes too! I thought great, we are all going together. After all I have my special running buggy.

But then the doorbell rang and my friend and babysitter Sharon had come over! Yesssssss!

Two hours later, mami and papi came back home, cold, sweaty, and compleley wet! Mami looked miserable. Turns out she couldn't find her hat and gloves before the run so she paid for it big time.

Papi didn't look so bad, he had taken his hat and gloves.

However, even though she didn't train this week, she did complete her two hours. She has been drinking lots of agua, especially with the special delivery we had this week.

Even I'm drinking some of it!

So Karen, I hope you are proud of her!

Tip of the week:

Buy proper running shoes. No point in training if you are hurting your feet and legs in bad shoes.

Mami recently bought herself  pair of Asics Gel 1160. She says they are like running on pillows and have made running more more enjoyable.

Papi and I are on her case. She knows she has to run this week to be ready to go for the Silverstone Half Marathon and we will make sure she gets it done.

After all, a full marathon is 26.2 miles!
