Why Mother Runners make the best Valentines

Having a little fun with the Valentine theme this week! All of us mother runners know that we make the best Valentine’s Day dates and here’s why:

Why Mother Runners Make the best Valentines

We like to get our heart rate up

It’s so easy to convince us that we could use a little more cardio. We will probably even wear our fitbits or heart rate monitors just to make sure we get credit for extra exercise.

 We love to mix it up-

Sometimes we like it “long and slow” and sometimes we just need to get it done “short and fast”.

We don’t mind who finishes first-

Who am I kidding-of course we do!

We are so easy to shop for

Skip the flowers! What we really want are new running shoes, race entries and carbs lots of carbs.

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.

    This is pretty funny and so true. Wish I received running gear instead of flowers and chocolates. It was a nice gesture though. I got so many email the past few wks about special valentine’s runner boxes and such. I wanted to say something to give him an idea of what I’d like but I didn’t.

    Haha… this is hilarious…. I hope to survive my Valentine’s Day marathon in tact and not die of dehydration (86 and sunny) so I can read your posts next week. Have a great one!

    ha ha ha…I’m in total agreement with the Race Entry meme 😉 And, I have successfully convinced myself (and others) that chocolate is, indeed, a carb!!

    Haha, true! I hated when my husband was carb loading for his marathons… but look forward to enjoying those days myself now.

    Hah! This is too funny! Although I’d say we make the worst Valentines because we have to meet our BRFs for an early morning long run. 😉

    LOL! This is great!

    I’m getting a race entry for Valentine’s Day and I couldn’t be happier about it!
