Running With My Baby!

I do not think there is a greater joy than having this little lady get excited when she sees our new jogging stroller come out! I did not realize how very much my sweet baby girl enjoys our evening runs until I asked her the other day if she wanted to go for a walk and she squealed with delight when I brought out her stroller. It really warmed my heart.



I love running because it frees me and honestly it is something I do for myself. Being a mom does not give me a lot of free time to myself especially working full time and taking classes part time. So for me running is my time, my own thing but now that the weather is warmer and it is light out when we get home from work how can I not bring this little love along?

So weather permitting when we get home I plan to take peanut and the stroller out for a jog around the neighborhood. And I do it without electronics because she is so interactive during our runs. She was singing the other day and asking me whats that whats this when we passed things. I am always amazed at how much she grows and learns each and every day. I never imagined I would be able to put 2 of my most favorite things together and enjoy them at the same time! But thanks to our jogging stroller it is possible :)

My dream is for one day us to run a race together and by taking her on some runs now I can only hope she gets the bug like I have hehe ;)

She is sweet! And I have no doubt that the two of you will be running races together in the coming years. :)

I saw your Tweet in the #momsrunning feed. My kids have loved going in the jogger too--especially my youngest who is 2. She will choose to go for a run with me over anything else. And she sits quietly and enjoys the ride. If she sees me in running clothes she says "fast? me too me too." There is a race in my city in Nov. where joggers are allowed and I think I may push her in it--just to say I did!

Peanut is so precious. I have no doubt that you two will be running together as she has your strength and spirit.
