Really Pants

My new hobby…..

It is now confirmed, I am a crazy mother, and a pushy one at that……..

My stress relief and relaxation is, and has been for some time, exercise.  Being a mother of two, this is difficult to fit in, and I am usually exhausted by the end of the day.  At least it was difficult to fit in until I came across baby jogging!

I came across the Baby Jogger City Mini Push Chair quite by accident and did a bit research to find out more. The push chair coincided with a need to purchase a lighter weight stroller for when we are out and about in the car, which although is few and far between, was becoming a necessity due to the weight and size of my main push chair.

Living by the sea, and training to run the Great North Run, I am now enjoying running up and down the coast with my daughter in tow…. My apprehension at her taking to the experience, was blown away by her frantic laughing and leg kicking as soon as I got going; she appears to be a bit of a speed demon! My friend and I coined the phrase crazy ‘pushy mothers’  for obvious reasons, one being the amount of strange looks we get when out and about with our babies and all of us laughing manically!

There is actually a Pushy Mothers gathering in my area, combining exercise with babies and push chairs, and so far I can highly recommend getting involved in some form, particularly if like me you are too tired by the end of the day to start exercising.

Be warned, the older ones want to get involved once they realise their younger siblings are in on the act, and before you know it you have one in the push chair and one on the bike.  Relaxation no more…..
