I run for me.. I run so that I relieve all the day's stresses that come with being a working mother. I run to get rid of the after-two baby body (remember how big I got with Miles?). I run so I can think (that's right... I don't listen to music-I do enough of that 9 hours a day at work) I daydream - when else would I get to do that?
I run for my husband. He sees how happy I am (even with working full time) when I exercise. I have energy to be a spouse to him...to talk to him about his day...to sit and watch a show with him without falling asleep. I think that by me running I make him happy. And I love the way he looks at me with all the new improvements.
I run for my kids. I run so I can be in a good mood and a better mother for them.. No worries mate...that is how I feel when I am running. I also have tons of energy to play tag or to army crawl on the floor. I run so that I will see them graduate, go to college, get married, have children. I run so that I am not tired in the evenings - the only time I get to be with my children.
Why not just exercise? I just don't have enough time.. This is the biggest bang for my buck(time). I miss my exercise classes but they weren't doing enough fast. I get 40 minutes.. I need to make those 40 minutes count! I will be picking up my weightlifting class though...I don't want to get too skinny!
What motivates you to exercise?

you run because you come into this world in fast motion and haven't slowed down yet..Mom
Maybe that is part of it too... I sometimes still run to get somewhere..run in the office...run to the next building...I just want to already be there!
