May 19th 2018 Fargo marathon #TeamEllis
My soon to be niece Ellis is the strongest 2 year old I know. Just over a year ago she was diagnosed with epilepsy, it’s been a bumpy road the last year but the smile on her face we see now makes the bumps go away! Erik and Kendra decided to do a fundraiser for epilepsy foundation and raise awareness by getting people to run the different races during marathon weekend.
I decided to join a team 4 weeks before the race..... I hadn’t run since high school, had a BIG work event right in the middle & a mid life crises the week of the race. But it wasn’t about that bullshit, it was about Ellis. So I found the time to run, and actually used it as my getaway and did the 4 person relay marathon. (About 6 miles) I’m not trying to brag, nor am I going to tell you my time, but for me I killed it. Stopped one time for the free summit beer (THANK YOU TO THOSE PEOPLE)
I also want to give a shoutout to another lady who I was training for, my favorite girl assistant coach in the world, Kari Loft. #LoftChallenge
The race went great, it was so fun to see family and friends all come together for this little girl! After they had a taco bar at Dave’s Southside Tap a
nd everyone came together to drink beer, eat tacos and celebrate miss Ellis!
After a long long long winter not seeing family, it was so great to be all together.
