Mom on the Run

Why Mom Runs?

Marathons, Parenting - Anupriya kapur - August 13, 2015

Now that the “running season” has started and most of us are out on long runs during weekends, it got me wondering how our kids really view us and our running. What exactly is their perspective on this little hobby of ours! So I asked ten runner moms and this is what their little ones had to say. I can’t deny I had fun making this post. Cute and candid responses 🙂

Please click on the artwork to read, it will open up and click on it again to enlarge (this is the best I could do, sorry for the inconvenience!)

Just in case you are not able to click the image, here’s the text –

Vaishali Kasture   Son (7) – Mom runs because it makes her very happy.

Seema Pillai Daughter (11) – “Office is boring – so you want to have some fun”. Son (13) — ” Because you want to be fit and happy”.

Priyanka Sehgal Mehta  Son (8) – because she wants to be fit.  Daughter (5) – because she wants to bring medals and certificates home.

Preeti Daughter (11) “My mom suffers from a disease known as mad person disease. She claims she runs to keep the craziness away. Which sort of proves my point about mad person disease. My message to all you kids out there who have moms who run – I feel you”

Sangeeta Son (11) Because she likes to run and so that no clothes are SMALL for her.

Sonia Son (11 ) She is always running against time to manage home and work. Now she runs on roads to help her remain fit, release her tension and encourage others.

Tanya  Daughter (4.5) – She likes to run because she likes to eat well and sleep well and then become strong.

Nipa Daughter (10) – to escape from her kids, but we always catch up. Son (8) To stay healthy and be able to keep up with us.

Sayuri Son (10)  because she not get angry on me. 2) because she likes to wear running clothes. 3) because she like to be fitness.

    I asked my sons the same question. These were the responses:

    Aayush (age 7)- ‘Because you love it and have so much fun!’

    Eshaan (age 4)- ‘you want to win lots of trophies!’

    Loved reading this!
    I started running after my daughter (now 27) left for Melbourne to do her Masters. So she hasn’t really seen me run. Here’s her ‘remote’ perspective:
    “Running is freedom. When mom runs it’s her against the road and all else fades away. The humdrum of daily life, the stress of her job, the fight with the maid, the flat tyre of her scooty, worrying about whether her hubby remembered to eat dinner last night, and the empty milk carton in the fridge — all don’t matter as long as one foot can follow the other. It’s like someone hit the mute button on life and all that matters is her; her health, her body, and her fitness. Each drop of sweat tricking down her head is a measure of her dedication to this goal and each sharp breath strengthens her resolve. She knows that if she can finish this run, she can do anything.

    Anupriya loved your blog and the Lil ones responses.
    I started running again now after a break of 2 yrs because of my back injury. My daughter who is 17 yrs now and my husband is the motivation behind my running. My daughter started college and comes home only in weekends. I sometimes feel guilty when she was there on weekends and I have to go for training.. but she says ”Mamma pls go ahead. Every weekend I will come.. but if u lose one day running , the day won’t come back”. Yes it’s true..
