Maria must train and eat healthy in order to run in the Boilermaker. Training is just like practicing. Since the race is about 9 miles, Maria must prepare her body for running that far at one time. Maria runs 3 days a week to prepare for the road race. Some days she only runs a couple miles but other days she runs 6 or 7 miles.
Maria must eat healthy so her body feels good. When Maria eats healthy, her body will be well nourished and prepared for the long race. She also must buy new running sneakers. Sneakers can be expensive so Maria's parents offered to pay 40% of the price. The sneakers cost 90 dollars .
