We're all so PROUD of Saje

Saje has been training for a long time for the half marathon that was held during the Ottawa Race Weekend. She has spent countless early mornings (sometimes before 6....am!) and rainy evenings training hard for this event. This past Sunday was the day to go out there and show the world what she had.
The boys and daddy packed up our gear to cheer our great lady on. We took up a spot at about the 18.5 km mark and were blowing our big red horns in eager anticipation. When Monkey screamed out 'I see mommy! I see mommy', we set into action. The boys passed her off some new fluids as she floated on by full of big smiles.
She later commented that this really gave her a boost. She then was cheered on by her father with about 2 km to go as we scurried across the footbridge to see her again before the finish line.
It was delightful to see her in good spirits and good health.
Here she is as she came down to about the 100 m to go mark. She was just beaming and full of pride. She looked super and had really paced herself superbly.


She crossed the line on the very early side of her target range, much to her delight. She is soooo proud of her time and her accomplishment, as are we. She met up with her mom at the finish line and got lots of gentle hugs from her boys.
She then met up with her friends and we took some photos of the three competitors.
Way to go sweetheart. We are so very, very proud of you!
