Run Kyle Run

Two years ago when I was first asked to join the “run little run” team to be honest I just laughed, I am no way a runner but when my then nine-year-old son Kyle said he would like to join me I was inspired to give my all. On May 15, 2011 Kyle and I completed our third half marathon at the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon.

Although the entire course is beautiful, yet extremely windy that day, the final mile is the most exciting and not just because you are almost to the finish line. Once you hit the final mile you are led onto Lambeau Field, yes right on the field where the Super Bowl Champions the Green Bay Packers play their home games. It is such an amazing experience to feel how large the field actually is and to hear the cheers of the crowd as you exit the tunnel to finish line.

This was our second time running the Green Bay Marathon and I must say that although we do not have many races to compare this one to it was the one that inspired me to continue running and be sure it would not be my last.

Instep Icebreaker Indoor Marathon: #1

Ice Breaker: 1st half of the year. Well I will admit I was not trained for this race . It was slow going and I could tell by the peoples faces cheering they knew I was digging deep. The race is held at the Petit National Ice Center in Milwaukee. There were a few great things that stood out at this race-- One you were able to watch Olympic Speed Skaters train. It was truly amazing to watch them skate. Another great thing about this race is that it is green. You call out your number as you round the water station and someone gets your water bottle to you. Lastly, the volunteer and race staff were so encouraging on the course of many laps.
