My mom ran the LA Marathon yesterday. It was her first one. She decided about a year ago that she was gonna go for it, and she’s been training ever since.

She ran 26.2 miles in 4 hours and 38 minutes. She came in at #6,032 of about 26,000 people. That’s insane.

What a boss.

The LA Marathon starts at Dodger Stadium, and follows Sunset through to Hollywood and down on into Santa Monica. My parents got a hotel room near the finish line to allow mom to relax after her run, and to have a place for her supporters to celebrate her success with a brunch party. I wasn’t able to get a picture of all of the delicious food because everyone was already chowing down by the time we all got into the room. Trust me when I say it was above and beyond anything I could have expected. Our family outdid themselves, and it made my mom feel so loved.

Such a fun day! I am so proud of my mom for completing this epic task. Looks like we’re ready for round 2 in 2017!
