Love the "Inner Kenyan" and "Run U Mother" - and how many times have I wanted to yell "I am NOT almost there, I still have 10 miles to go!!!!!!!!"<BR/>Channelmarker- as for runs in Miami the first weekend in April, you're out of luck. It's practically the only weekend there isn't anything. There is the Corporate run on Thursday (perhaps?) but it is MISERABLE! 20,000 Crumbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338313880304743523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028659.post-12991053140973500022008-01-28T13:11:00.000-05:002008-01-28T13:11:00.000-05:00When our good friend was running in the Marine Cor...When our good friend was running in the Marine Corps Marathon for the first time we held up a sign that said "Run U Mother". It really inspired a lot of other moms who saw it and eventually ended up being the mantra for our early morning bootcamp. Funny enough, it has inspired my friend TJ and I to start our own Run U Mother business. <BR/><BR/>So Run U Mother! It sure keeps us going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028659.post-43979782190378174302008-01-28T09:14:00.000-05:002008-01-28T09:14:00.000-05:00I saw the "Inner Kenyan" sign at MCM this year, it...I saw the "Inner Kenyan" sign at MCM this year, it was great!
