As much as I like to run, I have to make time for it and that, my friends, is no easy task. Why? Because I am a mother!
Mothers have different schedules than other people, we have to run on 'mommy time' which is very limited time. We mothers are masters of multi-tasking, experts in efficiency, and divas of delegating.
This blog is to let all you out there know (and commiserate) that yes...I can have it all....or hurt myself trying. I am very fortunate to have a loving, supporting husband and two beautiful healthy children.
In order for me to fully enjoy my family...I run...away from them!
One reason I started running was to be a healthy role model for my children. I have two girls that watch me very closely and I want them to know that a healthy lifestyle is important and making time for yourself is important, especially as a woman.
'Dee' is my oldest and she is eight. She is up for anything and a couple summers ago she did her first race.
I was sooooo proud.
My youngest is 'Kay' and she is five. She has been my biggest cheerleader. She gives me a hug (or three) whenever I leave the house for a run. She always says..."Have a good run momma"
And of course Mr. B....
Good or bad...they are the reason I run.
I hope to post more about my family, they make me laugh and cry and they are around me alll the time...so really I have a lot of material from them.
What is your reason to run (or run away)?

Great Post! I started running to find myself again. I didn't even realize I lost myself in the midst of raising a family. hahaha I run to be healthy and to stay sane!
LOVE this post!! This is exactly how I feel. There are days where it's a fight to get out the door, because I want to stay and play; then others I'm bolting out of there before my husband can do a double-take.
You have such an adorable family!!!!
I'm so glad you ladies like this one...I was worried that some people might not know that I was (kinda) joking about running away from my family....moms get it, right?
