If your baby had taken his or her first steps over the weekend, and you were a blogger, would have written about it? I thought so… My son took his first steps many years ago, but he did something huge on Saturday, and I didn’t tell you about it. Major failure on my part!
On Saturday morning Joseph ran 20 miles! Yep, that’s right, he ran his first 20-miler! I didn’t realize that he was planning on going that far when I met him on the trail as I was coming back from my run, or I would have taken a photo.
Last week’s picture of Joseph and Bill running together
Joseph’s first race was a neighborhood obstacle course! In high school he ran cross country, and since then has run for fitness. This spring he’s started adding on the miles…

Now he’s thinking marathons and someday maybe ultras…. I’m giddy with excitement! 🙂
- Questions:
- What new thing has your child done lately?
- Were your parents as excited as Bill and I are when you ran your first long run?
- What distance was your longest run ever? ~ I ran the JFK 50-Miler once, only once…
Hey, better late than never!! Congrats to him- and you! What a cute oldie pic!! And, you’re an AWESOME mom from what I can tell!
Way to go Joseph! That is great. My parents were both runners when I was growing up in the 80s. Both ran a big 10K race in our town a lot and my mom ran a couple halves but neither of them ran marathons. They kind of think I am crazy now that I do multiple a year.
Congrats to your son, that is amazing! My hubby and I can’t wait til our son is old enough to sign him up for a 1k or a kid’s dash. One day we hope we can all run together as a family, I think that wil be a very special day. The longest run for me is a half marathon so far….
