I officially sent in the form to register for my first race as a mom. It is a short one - just 4 miles, but it will be the first time that I can come through the chute and see little man and Derek waiting for me. As a bonus, it gets us free tix to the baseball game afterward, so we can stay and have some good, family-friendly fun. My smell after a race, however, is less than family-friendly, so I'll have to make sure there is time to go home and shower in between. I'd hate for the mascot guy in the furry bat suit to pass out before we can get his pic with Ethan.
