Leading Ladies Marathon and Half Marathon
Sunday, August 21
Lead, SD
This twelfth year is dedicated to our mothers. She who had the courage to have, nurture, endure, and love us unconditionally, who modeled deal with life and look good doing it. Honor her with time on your feet, miles on the road, and a song in your heart.
So, if you run with, to, or in memory of your mother, consider this. Accepting this challenge is a physical, emotional, and mental test both to prepare for and to execute...and it ain't easy. If it were, they'd call it child birth. Keep that in mind as you train in weather, weariness, and why-in-the-heck???? Because we are all mothers, we all have a mother, and we are all so worth it. See you in August.
