Look what I got?!?! And yes, that is my MPG Propel Hoodie
Yes, her shirts says “The First Lady” — it was her very first expo.
We also got to meet Olympian and running legend, Jeff Galloway
… and when Jeff gives you last-minute advice, you listen.
Two Cities Marathon shirt AND a hat.
The 2012 Two Cities Marathon Finisher’s Medal (4:09:29)
… and a hoodie. That’s right. I snagged a shirt, hat, hoodie and medal! SWAG CITY!
But the best thing to see at the finish line was this little cutie. She was so excited to see me and was crawling all over me. (FYI: her shirts says “love my daddy”)
It really was one of the happiest finish line experiences ever. No matter how tired you may be, when that little face lights up, it’s all that matters.
Your comments are always appreciated.

Omg she is just the cutest!! And how awesome you got to meet Jeff Galloway!
Love the First Lady, she is the cutest!! Awesome pic of you two with Jeff Galloway!
She’s just precious!
I LOVE THIS! Congrats on your awesome performance.
PS the First Lady is tres adorable! Will she soon becoming to visit here friendly neighbours to the north or a certain spring marathon??
She is so cute!!
Your daughter is adorable! And the medal is awesome…might have to do that race just to get it!
Great pictures! Congratulations!!
Your daughter is so darn cute! Great pics and a belated congrats on your awesome PR!
So adorable, I can’t wait for a race that where my little one is greeting me! How awesome that you met Jeff Galloway too! Jealous!
She is the cutest thing ever. Really great pictures! It seems like you had a lot of fun, and for that I am glad. :)
Great pictures and congrats!!! She looks adorable with a medal on :) Very awesome you met Jeff Galloway! What last minute advice did he give you?
To go out slow and that energy saved in the early miles will benefit me at the end… very wise words that I need to listen to MORE.
Bart Yasso gave us the same speech at a Mizuno event before the (non) NYCM. He said you want to be the one with all of the energy passing people. It will help everyone around you who is struggling!
That’s an excellent point. Not having too many other runners around me at the end definitely hindered my psyche.
So cute! Good thing you got all that swag because she’s never gonna give you that medal back (spoken from experience)!
I quickly gave it to her. She can have it… she can have all of em… she can have whatever she wants. :)
She is a little mini PR, and so adorable! Did you have that shirt made, or actually find one? Awesome. And love the Galloway pics!
Yes, wifey gave it to me (er her) for my birthday. It also has the URL on the back.
The First Lady! Love it!!!
The first lady is such a HAMMMMMM. what a cutie pie.
I’ve decided the look on her face on the last one is “gosh daddy you smell”
Noooooooo. She is saying “take that FRESNO! My daddy smashed you!”
LOVE! Exciting to meet Jeff huh?
Your daughter is simply gorgeous!!!
Love the daddy and daughter photos! I miss having little ones around so must enjoy vicariously!
Happy Wednesday!
wait, they don’t stay little forever?
She is so adorable!!!!
Your daughter is so beautiful! And is that an NYC marathon shirt I spy? I have the same one. :)
Yes it is. That is my GO TO shirt for long runs. It inspires me and has always treated me well.
Awesome swag! We are considering this one for next year, I hadn’t known about it much until last weekend.
Let me know what you decide. I’ve def. got some advice if you do.
great job on your race. love the shirt and medal! your daughter is so cute! I love her shirt!
