Why I Chose This Race

I miss running every day and the freedom I had to run before kids. It’s totally doable to go on runs pushing a toddler and baby in a double stroller, but it is always filled with a surprise or two. You have to go in with a different mindset. As my Summer/Fall race event I chose the DC Wonder Woman™ Presented by Echelon® 5k. This is an awesome one to train for with kids because you can dress up with them and make it a whole experience. You can read my recap of last year’s Batman Run with Logan here.

It’s also a great distance and I can choose to run the virtual race when the kids are feeling good! I can either choose to run with them in the stroller or have them be my cheering squad along my own course. Stay tuned for what I decide when I get closer to race day.

Did I mention the swag? They have the best Swag! The zip-up shirt this year is so cute, the medal is amazing, a fun headband is included, and you get your own finish line tape to break!

How To Train With Two Kids in a Stroller

So how do you train with two kids in a stroller? Here are my best tips for making it as easy and painless as possible.

  • Pack all the snacks!! Never, I repeat, NEVER, run out of snacks.

  • Bring plenty of water

  • Be prepared to stop at any point for any reason, just know going in that when pushing a stroller you will have to stop for your toddlers/babies what seems like a million times

  • Know that you can always cut your training run short if today is not you or your kids best day. One day I tried to finish the same run 3 different times!

  • Take adorable pictures of you and your kiddos - when you look back on them they will be amazing memories!
