But after setting a goal of competing in a triathlon, Holland started by running the trails in her Park West neighborhood. “I signed up for the IOP Beach Run, and, after that, I thought I would go do a half marathon. I went from doing a 5k to a half marathon,” she laughed.

halves,” she said. Tis April, Holland will meet her goal

will be running with the Mount Pleas- ant Track Club. “When I go out running with my kids, I don’t see many kids and their parents running together. It’s the lucky few that I see. Tere are a lot of parents with dogs, though. I guess that means the dogs are having all the fun,” Shaw said. Her children’s running is more than
