Not too many toddlers can claim to be world record holders, but 19-month-old Blair Puttkammer helped her mother Alyssa, 33, break the record for the fastest women's marathon pushing a stroller.
According to Puttkammer, a Utah resident, after the first two miles, she and Blair were ten seconds under their goal pace, but at that point, Blair wasn't having it.
“When we finally rounded the last turn and sprinted to the finish, everyone was cheering. It didn't really sink in that I had broken the record." Puttkammer is a single mother, and said she was motivated by coaching great John Wooden's motto: Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
She adds that she's proud of Blair for putting up with the miles of training and the rigors of the race.
