Did you get that? A first grader ran a half marathon; at a time when her friends were watching cartoons, playing Barbies, and coloring in their coloring books, she was out running 13.1 miles. And it was her idea.
Now critics are surfacing about the damage a child this young could be doing to their body by running such distances. Look, I'm a fully grown adult and I experienced cartilage damage and a stress fracture while training for my first half marathon. Running these kinds of distances is dangerous for all of us, not just kids. But with the proper coaching and training, you can run them safely.

I think the bigger concern here is who drank her finish line beer? It better not have gone to waste!
