In late fall 2015 I joined a running group on a whim thinking I could maybe meet a few other moms here in DC. Little did I know what all would come from that decision. On the running side I ended up setting new PRs for a 5k, 10k and half and also completed my first marathon. I logged miles upon miles of running with these ladies discussing everything you could possibly imagine. But the friendship side is where I feel so lucky. Those mommas have been a support system for much more than running. If I needed to vent, they were there. If I needed pushed to complete the marathon, they were there. If I needed a babysitter, they were there. If I needed a mom's night out, they were definitely there.
So, for my farewell run I choose to run an easy 5 miles to a DELISH cupcake and coffee shop. It was a wonderful morning for me and I'm so thankful for these girls!
It's so bittersweet leaving behind an awesome running community like that.
