“We just did the Ottawa half marathon together. I convinced my mom to sign up for a half marathon with me last September. I wasn’t quite ready so I chickened out. She did it anyway and then she signed us up for another one in May. She sort of just trained me to get into shape for it and then we ran it together. It was probably one of the top five experiences of my life. I don’t think I would have finished it if she weren’t there.”
“She was amazing. Considering she barely trained for it, she was very impressive. I was a little jealous!”
“How did you feel once it was over?”
“We crossed the finish line holding hands and I didn’t think I could finish it. She pulled me across the finish line and then I started crying. I was so happy. She kept saying: ‘I’m so proud of you! I’m so proud of you!’”
