Happy Friday five everyone! As you probably know, I am off running my Ragnar race today but couldn’t pass up the opportunity to honor Mother’s Day. You all know how much I love my MRTT mamas everyday but especially on this weekend. I crowdsourced with them and came up with a few fun answers as to why “Runners Make the Best Moms”
I’m joining the fabulous DC Trifecta-Cynthia, Mar and Courtney for their Friday Five link up.
Some very good points here! My boys have been involved in my activities, too. They’ve periodically gone to races with me, early morning track workouts, and bike rides. My oldest is a reasonably competitive middle distance runner in track. So glad I’m able to enjoy the active lifestyle with them.
I love when my kids will do races with me.
We are the best moms aren’t we 🙂
I can’t wait to read all about Ragnar!
Oh thanks! And yes!
Good luck this weekend! And you are right–very similar to my monday post! I’m glad we both had snacks first, lol.
Ha ha yea
Hope you have a fabulous Mother’s Day this weekend! Nice list here…I am not a mom yet, but I’ve already got #1 down. 🙂
Ha yes it does help!
Love these reasons, all so true! <3 Can't wait to hear about Ragnar!!!
Thanks! Having fun
Love this! That is one beautiful group of Mamas!
Oh thanks
Good luck with Ragnar! I’ll be skyping with my mom sometime on Sunday. We haven’t hammered out the details yet but she’s got her gifts.
That’s sweet!
All great reasons! I hope you have a great weekend and great mother’s day 🙂 I’m generally not with my mom for Mother’s Day sadly but I’ll catch up with her on the phone and I sent her a 3 month subscription for a vegan snack box.
Well that’s a nice gift!
Excited to hear about your experience at Ragnar! have fun!
Thanks so much!
<3 it! I hope to be a runner mom like that someday. Have an amazing day running the Ragnar. I have a goal of doing a Ragnar in the future sometime soon. :))
Hope you get the chance it’s a blast
All so true! Great list! Hope you are having a blast with Ragnar! Have a great mother’s day!!
We are!
This is so sweet!! Love that about willing to go the extra mile! Literally 🙂 Great post!
Thanks! Have a great weekend
Oh, I love this! How did you get to spend Mother’s Day at Ragnar? 😉
Thanks! Well it is Mother’s Day right? Hope you have a great one
So true! We do make the best moms! Hope you are having a fabulous time at ragnar!!
I am! Thanks
I love this list! All too often I feel guilty for running, like I’m being selfish and abandoning my child. But I know that running makes me a better mom. We all need to take time for ourselves, to help keep us healthy and sane! That and the snacks always make everything better.
We do need time for ourselves too. I think that shows our kids we value ourselves and our health. Thanks for stopping in!
Hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Thanks you too!
Mother’s day in France is at the end of the month, so we haven’t celebrated yet ! Hope you had a great day. Karen
Thanks recovering most of the day but yes thanks
This was a fun post to read 🙂 took mom out to brunch for Mother’s Day! Can’t wait to read about your race (catching up on your posts after a busy week)
Oh I am way behind! Glad you had a nice day with you mom 🙂
Great post! I think active families make happy healthy families! Hope you had a great Mother’s day!
I slept through most of it yesterday!
That’s a hoot! You are setting a great example for kids everywhere that fitness and setting goals is important.
Aw thanks! Setting goals is definitely important even if we don’t always achieve what we set out to.
