Another Day, Another Idea

Another one of my ideas is up for grabs. Please take it, do it...

Here it is.

I think that there should be a running race for mamas. It should be on mother's day. There could be all sorts of mom-centric divisions (and associated awards). Examples include: new mom division (anyone that gave birth within the past year), stroller division (anyone running with the babe in the stroller), double stroller division (for real bad ass mamas who can run and push 2), empty nester division, grandmother division (for fit gma's like birdie!)....maybe even a pregnant division for the prego girls that are still moving....

In addition to the token race tshirt (which should be fabulous), there could be t's and onsies for the kiddo's (they'd say something like, "run mama run").

Someone in PDX should make this happen. There are so many running mamas here.

I'd even love to just see someone add a "new mama division" to an existing race.

And hey, while we are at it, maybe the BAA could create a new mama qualifying standard (e.g., add about 5 or 10 minutes to the existing standard) to make qualifying for boston more achievable for a new mama like moi....

Who can make all of this happen for me? Talk to me...

Boulder has a Title 9k Mother's Day race with joggers division. J ran it and I was a spectator. It was kind of like Nascar for moms. They could use some of your ideas... maybe they have one in Portland?
