I could not let Valentine’s Day pass by without gushing a bit on my favorite people-mother runners. Of course, there are so many reasons to love the mother runner in your life so today I will just highlight a few of the reasons why mother runners are the best Valentines.
Why Mother Runners Are The Best Valentines
We like to get our heart rates up
Feed us some carbs and we are good to go with any “extra cardio” with our sweeties. Especially true if we are wearing our Fitbits or Garmins.
We like to mix it up
Some days we like to go long and slow and some days we just need a quickie. Either way, we always go the distance for the ones we love.
We can easily be talked into “trying” something new
Ragnars? Relays? Obstacle courses? We are always up for new challenges.
We are so easy to buy for
Don’t worry about flowers for Valentine’s Day. What we really want are new running shoes, cute clothes and race entries. Oh and you will need to feed us because we are always hungry for more.
I can’t let this day go by without a special shoutout to my favorite mother runners. The best running partners and friends anyone could ask for. They always have my back.
Tell me-Any big Valentine’s Day plans? Why do you think Mother Runners are the best Valentines?
Wishing you all a sweet Valentine’s day filled with love (and chocolate) and maybe some new running shoes.
