Yesterday I knew I needed to run and thought what why not bring the bikes
along and let the kids ride while I run. . . .
Brilliant idea I must say! This track isn't any regular track it's super sized!!! The kids had a great time riding and I was able to run. I must say they passed me a bunch of times. You can cover so much more ground on a bike.
THE BEAUTIFUL VIEWS
As I ran and watched my kids bike around. I couldn't help but become overwhelmed with happiness, gratitude and appreciation. For the beautiful place we live and the bodies we have that are able to accomplish the things many great things we do. I was so happy to see my kids enjoying the outdoors being physical and most of all being safe. They all know they are not allowed on ANYTHING with wheels without a HELMET.
Are you able to enjoy family fitness?
What do you do for family fitness fun?

Love the pictures! The mountains are absolutely beautiful! What a wonderful place to run!
Great pictures, the scenery is breathtaking, working out is so much of a reward when you can get your family involved and teach your kids how to live a balanced life - great work!
Hi Lindsay,
Wow, lovely pictures! You do get to run with gorgeous scenery:) How fun for the kids to bike with you on your run! I am sure that they had just as much fun as you did. It is important to do family activities:) Happy weekend!
I love the new look of your blog!!! It's super professional! Excited to hear about your "special surprise"...
Great pictures -- can't wait to hear the big surprise :)
How fun! I wish we had a place like that around here where I could run and the boys could bike. Fabulous!
Kids are meant to be outside as much as possible, well done for using your workout as an excuse to get some fresh air into their lungs, especially on a bike!
Your location is amazing by the way!
Cheers

Fabulous! Wish I had someplace cool like that to run...
We have this 4 mile walk the kids go with us on. The best is when we hike with them, they have their lulls but all in all it becomes an adventure for them.
You do have some beautiful views! :) Right now we swim! Too hot to do much outside right now.
I just came across your blog! I love it. Very inspirational. Keep up the good work. I have found fitness through running as well. I am doing my first 1/2 marathon in August too. I am doing the top of Utah one. Happy training!
niiicceee.. that is cool;-) my kids would LOVE to ride around the track while I run. thanks for the idea;-)
I love this! I have done the same exact thing with my kiddos. I love having them ride along side of me as I'm slugging out the miles.
Looking forward to your big surprise!
Great pictures. I love that as a mother we can set a good example of healthy living as we do active things.

Thanks for the comment on my recent race report!
Great work on all you've achieved!!!
I love that you brought the kids along. I don't have kids but if I ever do I believe that teaching them that daily exercise is part of life. You brush your teeth, you make your bed, you move your body (except I don't actually make my bed most of the time - but I do brush my teeth & exercise ;) ). Hopefully if it is a normal part of life it won't feel like a chorse or something they have to do! Great work girl! Can't wait to hear how the half marathon goes!!!
ooooooooooh! i LOVE surprises!!! are you PREGO?? :-) sorry. couldnt help it. you really have a beautiful family.
So fun you were able to get in some fit time with your kids! I'm sure you are helping them develop an appreciation for physical activity. That rocks girl!
I love running while the kiddos ride their bikes. It's fun to be active as a family.
Ahhh. . . a surprise. . . I love surprises. Oh wait. I MIGHT already know what that is. :)
Can't wait for the special surprise!! We are going to start doing family runs on the trail. I just got my hubby starting to run occasionally. My youngest daughter LOVES to run. My oldest I never thought was much of a runner until yesterday at her jog-a-thon when I witnessed her tie for first doing 5 huge laps. She did awesome and said she wanted to keep going. :) She is soo going running with me. No more excuses from that one. :)
Don't you just love that feeling of being overwhelmed with gratitude. What a wonderful feeling! My husband and I are going to start walking every night. he doesn't want to , but I have begged him to join me.
What a great mom your are to exercise and find a way for kids to make it fun too! Congrats on your new healthy living!

what a great place to run
That is so fun getting out together with the family for exercise. I was really happy to see the kids wearing helmets. We see so many kids riding in the road and no helmet.
Hmmmmm wonder what the big surprise is?????
My family has recently started joining me on my runs. Keep in mind, this includes my husband and dog! We love going to our local trail system. i run while D takes the dog for off-leash adventures. Everyone comes home happy and tired.

What a wonderful (and healthy) way to squeeze in some family time! Not to mention, setting a great example! Keep up the great work Lindsay! You are such an inspiration!
Oh and by the way, my beautiful daughter Laina Belle works out with me pretty much every single day! We walk and talk! ( :
Sounds fun and in such an idyllic environment.

I love how your took your kids with you when you ran. I'm sure they had a lot of fun. It's great to see you all being active TOGETHER! :)
That is an excellent idea. Good for the kids, great for you. I have daycare tomorrow and am taking my two oldest ones biking with Mike and I. I'm not sure how far they can go but figured we'd start out with a 5 mile trail and see. Thanks for stopping by. Take care and God Bless!!
