By running I secretly hope to teach by example. I mean, having a mom who goes for a run every day has got to set a certain standard, doesn't it?
Running is my gift to the my children
I'd like to give my children the gift that is running. A means to battle the blues, a means to gain self confidence and inner balance. A free method to find yourself. Yes, running is definitely one of my better gifts! If I do say so myself.And sadly I dó have to say it myself, because nobody else will.
That's motherhood for you....
When I asked my daughter Maartje the other day:'Hey Maartje, are you gonna be just as good as me? You know, running every other day, and being very happy and healthy?'
'No', she declared firmly, 'because I think running is Stupid.'
So I ran another block, just to show Maartje how well I cope with disappointments.
As a gift.

LOL! What a great post! I enjoy running, but need to find some new / different shoes. I am struggling with foot pain. -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures

I think that kids definitely notice when mom is being active and taking care of herself, and they will hopefully grow up doing the same. (-- even if they hate running, they can find an activity they do enjoy.) Stopping by from the #HomeMattersParty link up.
I can remember having to do a crossword country run at school the only thing that got me to the end was chasing a certain boys back side #pocolo
Such a great post. I ran cross country in high school and so did my kids. I don't run much these days but I walk a lot. #littlebitofeverything
Proper chuckled at this post! That's the same thing my daughter would say to me! Sim #PoCoLo
