Why Mother Runners Are The Best Valentines

February report card|Why mother runners make 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.

About Deborah Brooks

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.
