Though she had been keen to face her rivals in the Half-Marathon competition, out of consideration for her mother (who, to her daughter's chagrin, is a hopeless runner), Miya consented to limit herself to the 3K Family Walk/Run. Since this event was not timed, when her decision was announced there was an audible sigh of relief among other racers.
Miya showed early promise as a marathoner, and just a few days shy of her third birthday, she proved that she is ready to take on the challenges of road racing. Bolstered by the support of her family - mom, dad and grandma - as well as the companionship of Baby Penguin, she smoothly sailed to the finish line.
John Stanton, President and Founder of the Running Room who was the Run for Reach race starter, is rumoured to have been studying Miya's running technique and may be introducing a line of pink croc racing shoes at his stores this summer.
Based on the photo finish, it looks like Nisha won. Congrats! ;)
