When I first looked at this picture, I saw my beat red face and wrinkles. I feel like every selfie we take, I notice
a few more lines to mark my age. But then I realized that this picture represents the first race I ran with my 3 sons. This picture reminds me of the fact that both of my kids said their legs hurt, but finished because I was with them. This one-mile run may not have been my best time on the clock, but it is my favorite race because I was able to push my toddler in a stroller the whole time, cheer my kids on, and motivate my boys to finish strong. This picture reminds me of all the times that we have tried something new and all the times we have believed in each other. This picture will always be one of my favorites because of the meaning behind our smiles.
