This past weekend, a group of moms from Belmont ran the Nike Marathon in San Francisco. The Belmont women chose to share their experience here on Belmont Patch.

"It was my first time participating. For me it was a very positive and empowering experience. In addition to that, because I was part of Team in Training, I felt like what I was doing was making a difference in the lives of others." ~Cathy Pereira

"It was exciting, inspiring and really fun!"  ~Tia Cilia

An empowering experience shared with some amazing women!!!  ~Azi Dennler

“This was a tremendously empowering experience! You get caught up in the momentum of the race and you can actually feel the “you can do it” atmosphere of encouragement that helped me to push myself to a personal best! There’s a wonderful feeling of accomplishment – even 3 days later!”  ~Jill Bauer

"It was inspiring to see so many family and friends cheering for their runners/walkers. Runners whispered positive words of encouragements to walkers. Everyone was routing for everyone."  ~Sandy Wee

"This was my 3rd time running the Nike and the sense of accomplishment never diminishes.  Running with such amazing women and knowing that we are supporting a great cause is very empowering.  ~Annette Robinson
