My mom the Big 50!!

So my mom turned 50 today! She is such an amazing person and I love her so much and look up to her so much. She has been walking with her friend Shelli Densley for a really long time at 5:00 am everyday! So this year they both turned 50 this month and so they decided to walk 50 miles in one day to celebrate their birthdays! They started training a few months ago and last Wednesday they did it! It took them 15 hours total! They were so funny, my mom printed out a schedule for every lap that they did. They had a 7 mile route that they did 7 times, and then walked an extra mile in the beginning to make it 50! After each lap they would each tie a ribbon around a tree in their own yards to mark the trip! On the last lap me and all my sisters, and Shelli's family all walked it with them! We had a big sign at the finish line with the guys and the husbands waiting for them. It was such an amazing thing that she did, and she is such an amazing person, I want to be as amazing when I get older, and even now as I am now a mom, it is time to start being more like her!
