[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD (in her twenties) is going to run her first marathon this Fall. She has worked hard, and I am proud of her, even though I am totally unathletic myself.

I have recently retired, and assumed I would travel the few hours away to cheer her on when it happens. When I discussed that with her this weekend, she was hesitant. She said I certainly could attend, and she understood my desire to be supportive...but explained that afterwards she would likely to out with her running friends. So I would be traveling for hours and staying in a hotel, but interact with her very little.

To those of you who are serious runners...should I just stay home? Is it normal that her family members would not be included in social festivities after the race (along with her friends)? I am torn. Thank you.[/quote]

This isn't about running at all but really about your dd going on a girls trip (which this is, a girl's trip oriented around her hobby) and not wanting a parent there. Cheer her on at local events instead.[/quote]
