“When my girlfriends—all runners—heard I wanted to do a 12K, they were shocked. The farthest I had ever run was from the house to the car in the rain!” says Nikki Deckon, 34, of Wilsonville, Oregon.

“But after two babies, my stomach looked like a second butt. They helped me train and did the race with me. Without them, I never would’ve made it. We still run together, too.”
