A Running Mom Should Have

Here is my complete, exhaustive, unabridged list of everything a running mom should have.

• A jogging stroller
• A good pair of running shoes
• Something or Someone to draw inspiration from when she doesn't feel like going on
• A day...or at least an afternoon...once or twice a month...all to herself...to completely relax...and get a great pedicure
• Plenty of snacks for mommy and baby so no one gets grumpy and ends up sitting on a park bunch staring into space
• A bottle of water
• Some wet-ones on her at all times to clean up after little ones and in case she has to enter a porta-potty
• Something for baby to entertain his or herself during the run
• A pacifier...even if you don't believe in them...at least keep them for during your runs so if you're caught with a screaming baby and no way back but to keep on running, you have something to pacify both your baby and your poor, poor head
• A jogging stroller rain cover
• Someone to watch her kids...the jogging stroller is great and all...but sometimes a woman needs to get out there and be herself all by herself for just a little while and have...
• A moment to herself
• To travel as lightly as possible and remember that come race day, you will not be able to push the jogging stroller and thus have a place to carry all your things
