This Sunday,  Landon and I embark on a new journey together as mother & son. We are running in our 1st race together. We are participating in the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Kids 1k & 5k road-race in Providence, RI. This is my second year doing this particular 5K.  This year they decided to establish a kids 1k event prior to the 5k. Landon has been to all of my races (a whopping three, lol) and always wants to try it. I run 3 times a week, so I think he  is thinking that he is missing something !!! He is- running is fun. I can’t believe I actually said that. No-one in their right mind would have bet even a dollar that this time last year I would admit to liking running. I was so anti-running it was crazy. It wasn’t a personal attack on running itself, but more my love/hate relationship with exercise.

We have planned our outfits for the race- Pink shirts it is!!!  We even wrote with fabric paints on his shirt. Landon’s says,” Real Boys Wear PINK” on the front and “Team Friedman” on the back. It was a fun time decorating and seeing how excited he is for the race! I am so excited for this race. This is a “First” experience that I am delighted to have and can’t wait to share it with my favorite little man.

Followup post to come after the race!
