Sofia asked to run in a race and I found a local race that seemed perfect for her. Grant mapped out a perfect 1km loop around our block and he and I ran with Sofia a few times in training. The day of the race we learned she was the only one in her age/gender category so at the start line we said "Run as fast as you can to the turn around and then run faster on the way back!" As she ran out of sight I started to cry. I was overwhelmed with pride and awe of my oldest baby. She's so confident and capable when it comes to athletics. I love watching her play soccer, ride bikes, and now run. I look forward to years of her making my heart swell and eyes well.
