One big excuse that a lot of moms use for not working out is "the kids". I don't buy it for a minute. There has got to be a little bit of time each day that you can step out of the "mom" role and take care of your health. And when you just can't get away, you work out with your kids.
My half marathon training plan had me scheduled for an eight mile run. Aaron and the boys had somewhere they had to be so that left the girls alone for the evening. Did I say "Oh well, not gonna happen. Might as well lounge around for the evening."? NOPE! I packed a snack for my little doll and we hit the trail with our old rickety stroller.
Was it a hard run, you bet! Was it worth it? Oh yeah!!! It was fun to spend time with my beauty. She had a blast watching all the dogs, bikers, and skateboarders. And to make it even more fun for her I let her use our digital camera. That girl took 182 pictures, in the first ten minutes!
The Gals of the house heading out for a run :) We are an awesome team! (man she is just so pretty!)
A few of the pictures she took on our run...
Yes, I am running (up hill) during this photo moment.
Love our shadow in this one :) Although, I am assuming she was taking a picture of the road kill, which smelled as good as it looked...
Proof that you don't need a fancy jogging stroller. This stroller is over 10 years old, rickety and doesn't turn very well. And it worked just fine for our run. No excuses people!!!

She is beautiful (just like her Mom). I love that nothing stops you. Keep on moving. :)
