Have Patience. All Things Are Difficult Before They Become Easy

4/16/2020

Today on the blog we have a guest author, Sefra! We don't want to give anything away, so we will let Sefra introduce herself, and tell her story. 

In the wake of the COVID-19 chaos, I wanted to share an uplifting story about my family’s running journey. I am a special needs mom. Both of my twin boys have autism, and other various diagnoses. Our story seems unique, but in reality it is much more common than you would expect.

The boys were born as little preemies in Okinawa, Japan in October 2014. After a month in the NICU, we took our beautiful babies home. By the time they were 15 months, I suspected that they may be delayed. At 18 months, my suspicions were confirmed; the boys were diagnosed with Autism.

My husband was out of the country. My world was turned upside down. I had no idea what to do. I was completely numb, our entire world had changed. I felt completely alone on an island where I barely knew anyone. So, I did what I knew how to do. I loaded the boys into our old, worn-down jogger and I went for a run. I knew I had to process the day’s events. The miles blended together and eventually turned into my first ten mile run.

I couldn’t believe that I ran ten miles. That small victory turned a rough day into a positive one. Running was always our family’s activity. I grew up going to my dad’s races, oftentimes as early as 2:00AM. He is the ultimate runner and my example. It’s funny to think that I used to hate running. After the boys’ diagnosis, I knew I needed to make a change in my life. I decided to pursue running as that change.
A few months after they were diagnosed, we moved to North Carolina, where we expected to get treatment for the boys. Sadly, we didn’t know that the boys also had a severe eating condition. A few short months in NC showed us that we had moved to the wrong place. We even tried going out of state for medical care to treat their feeding issues. Yet, even after a month of out of state intensive therapy, we hadn’t made the progress we needed. So, we requested a humanitarian move to Quantico.

During this whole time, I was a solitary runner. With all the moves, therapy, hospital stays, and constant change in our lives, I didn’t think I would be able to find a running community. It made me concerned that there wasn’t a single running group that would understand my beautiful boys and our lifestyle.
Picture
The move to Quantico changed everything. I would go on to realize the benefits a strong running community brings into life. I finally went to a Stroller Warriors workout in 2017. Since then, the relationships I’ve kindled have carried my family through our toughest diagnoses yet. No matter who you are, there are groups that will accept you. I was able to forge my running family, treat my sons and get my family in a better place.

Recently one of our sons went through a traumatic experience. It was so severe, that the breakdown eventually morphed into PTSD with self injurious behavior. During this struggle, our family was emotionally and physically exhausted. We didn’t leave the house and ultimately shut ourselves in. We didn’t know if our baby would come back to us. He seemed like a shell of the little boy we knew. As a mother I wasn’t sure if we would make it. I would spend all night holding him so he didn’t hurt himself.

Getting up the morning after these incidents, I felt completely empty inside. It was like all I had left was the next step in my run. Telling myself, “just one more step and you’ll make it.” That attitude carried into helping my son. Just one more step and it will be okay. Just that one step kept me going. That running mentality forged our outlook -and ultimately our hope- that our son would make it through this storm.

That one step turned into thousands. And now our son is very slowly on his way to recovery. We still have hard days but those are the days I push myself out the door. I know I will be better for it. What I learned from this time was immeasurable. The friendships that I had made through my running journey were the ones that stayed by our sides the most. When we shut ourselves in, they came knocking. The positivity from them became positivity that I was able to bring home.
After everything, running is still my outlet. I started with my first 5K on Kadena Air Base that raised funds for the NICU. Then, I ran the Marine Corps Marathon as my first marathon in hopes of raising awareness for autism. Then I ultimately ran a 50K in Maryland. The 50K was my ultimate challenge, but with great support from friends and family I became an ultra marathoner. I will always be thankful for that experience. Believe it or not, my favorite race was a 4 miler in Fredericksburg, VA. It was a super rainy day but it was one of the few races my husband was able to attend. I was blessed to be able to run it with friends.

This race showed me how capable I can be when I want to. It was my first PR, and I did it with an amazing friend. Our husbands cheered us on at the finish line. It is a memory I will never forget! Thanks to running, I’ve been able to push myself to new heights. Thanks to our running community, and my family, I’ve grown as a mother, a friend and a woman. I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Through it all, we have endured stress that is fathomable by few, stress that I would wish on no one. But, I have learned many valuable lessons about myself, my family, and about taking care of us all. Becoming a runner has helped me handle stress in a healthy way. But even I forget things sometimes. I try to follow these key tenants when things get tough!

1. You are enough. Always remember that no matter how hard times get, you can make it through.

2. Your children love you no matter what. This was one of my biggest lessons. Our kids just want to see us happy. Our children’s love is unwavering.

3. Lao Tzu once said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.” Don’t be afraid to take that next step in your running journey. Everything in life starts with, “That first step." Life is full of possibilities, get out there and explore yours.

4. Go to the Stroller Warriors workout. You will make amazing friendships that will help you through your hardest times. They will help you grow as a spouse and as a parent. You won’t regret it!

5. When you’re tired and don’t feel like going, go anyway. I guarantee you will feel better afterwards. These are my biggest mental battles. On the hard days, I have to push myself out of the house and onto the pavement. This gives me the time and space I’ve needed to deal with the day’s (or night’s) events.

6. Surround yourself with positive people. I am extremely lucky to have met some amazing people throughout my running journey. They have uplifted myself and my family in times of need.

7. Listen to yourself. Follow what your mind and body are telling you. This is important. Don’t doubt what your body is telling you. You know your body the best. Listen to it.

8. Laughter and smiles are some of the best medication. The times I am able to run with friends, laugh, and smile are when I feel the best. There is no replacing the therapeutic value of a good laugh.

9. Try that new running adventure ahead of you. You never know what can happen, and you might love it. You might be pleasantly surprised with how much you enjoy it. Plus, you’ll get to see how you’ve grown as a person along the way.

10. Always remember to give yourself time and space for growth. Change doesn’t happen overnight. By giving yourself space to grow, you are setting yourself up for success. This is key to sustaining yourself and your family.
Picture
These are just some of the things that I have learned on my running journey. I know that we have a lot ahead and we still have much to learn. Being a mother is an amazing blessing. But being a mother of children with special needs is my biggest blessing of all. I hope I’ve given you a sliver lining for the times ahead. Be kind in time of stress and change. And ultimately, stay safe and enjoy the little things in life for really, those little things are really the big things.

Happy Running!

A Stroller Warriors Silver Lining to COVID-19

3/19/2020

by Katie P.
Katie is an avid runner, Stroller Warrior Headquarters Team member and mother of 3. She is an alumni member of Stroller Warriors Yuma and the founder of Stroller Warriors Iwakuni.​
PictureKatie's three kiddos, exploring the world.
​I woke up on Friday the 13th like any other day, and I was becoming superstitious by midday. After my kids got on the school bus, I checked email, read some news, and checked my FB notifications while eating breakfast. Along with my normal invitation notifications from Stroller Warriors chapters around the world, I had almost as many event cancellation notifications. This COVID storm is just beginning in America, and like everyone else, I’ve been trying to get my footing and have a reasonable reaction to this pandemic without acting like a hurricane is on its way (seriously, you cannot possibly need 3 packs of SamsClub toilet paper). By Sunday night, schools were ordered closed by the Governor (in our state - I’m in South Carolina) for the remainder of the month, all youth sports programs were postponed, and ‘social distancing’ was being explained by infectious disease specialists on every news outlet. Schools in other states were closing as well, some for as long as a 6-8 weeks. On Monday night the President announced the CDC recommended shutting down any gathering of more than ten people, which led to Stroller Warriors temporarily putting a hold on all US chapter workouts and events. Every US race scheduled in the next month (or more) has been cancelled, and we’re all on a virtual workout plan. 

Around the world, we’ve watched as our OCONUS chapters and Elsewhere members are in varying states of pandemic preparation or direct response. Japan shut down schools for the month of March, and some of the American bases have some level of ROM (Restriction of Movement) set up for residents returning from travel. Bases in European countries are on full lockdown, and their schools are closed, too. All PCS and non-essential TDY/TAD travel has been cancelled CONUS and OCONUS in an effort to stop this virus.

PictureThe only photo taken of our last race this season.
​My husband and I are both very fact oriented people. I am a former police officer who needs all of the information to make any decision. My husband is a history buff and has been watching YouTube videos of Q&As with infectious disease experts discussing COVID-19 and other diseases we’ve seen over the past few hundred years. We made a plan for the inevitable school closure for our kids and possible work shutdown for myself, and considering adjusting Spring break travel plans. And we’re running. We’re running every day we’ve planned, and were lucky enough to race last weekend at Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina, where some smaller races were still being held prior to the increase in cases. I have never felt so grateful for the fresh air, cool breeze, and free post-race beer! We enjoyed our time racing (my husband hit a PR and placed 1st in his age group, and while I didn’t PR, I did reach my day’s goal with a minute to spare), relaxing afterward as we watched other runners finish, and discussing this wild ride the world is on at the moment. We brought some levity to the discussion with some silly internet memes about toilet paper and T-Rex, but really, things are seemingly quite serious.

The past few weeks, we’ve watched as the running world has all but shut down every large running event scheduled for the next few months. I have seen countless Warriors posting about missing their races and the devastation they feel not being able to run their planned race. I have felt helpless and sad for my fellow runners.

​I’ve seen our combined reaction as Stroller Warriors members and leadership. Initially when it was only the big races that were cancelled, and otherwise life was proceeding as normal, I watched as our Coordinators, Workout Leaders, and Volunteer Staff set up water stations and planned virtual races and potlucks and BBQs for their fellow Warriors. I received a message from one of our coordinators asking for guidance after she’d come up with a plan – a plan that put her own race needs aside to give her team a fighting chance at the normalcy racing together brings us. I watched in the aftermath how their team was incredibly grateful for the opportunity to run their ‘race’ despite the disheartening conditions. They made that race happen for one another. We've seen Stroller Warriors starting 'virtual relays' where one by one they run miles and pass a virtual baton for the next person person to 'grab' and keep running. In the midst of all of the shut downs Stroller Warriors are still holding virtual workouts, relays, and challenges. They are supporting each other and sharing resources on home schooling. They are there for each other, both in running and in life.

​This COVID-19 situation is terrible. The virus has killed many and there is no doubt more will perish as we fight as a society to figure out life with this in the mix. Since becoming a runner, I have learned the strength of this team – the runner’s team. I have learned that together, we are stronger than we could ever be alone. We run faster and farther because of one another, and we continuously raise each other up when we are down. Our Fearless Leaders are some of the luckiest leaders in the world; they have the support of incredible volunteers and members who all truly have a common goal – our goal to ensure a healthier world for each of us and our children. 2020 may be the year that life gave us lemons, but Stroller Warriors, y’all are making some awesome lemonade and I am so proud to be among you. 

Sending my best from the low country to Stroller Warriors around the world – rock on Warriors! Whether you’re running laps in your driveway, a 5K at the track, a 10K on your garage treadmill, a half marathon on a one mile base loop, we’re all cheering for you this season.

I Run... Therefore I am.

2/20/2020

By: Stephanie Geraghty
 
As you know, we embrace all ability levels with Stroller Warriors. In fact, I think we even get most excited about the members that have never ran a day in their life, but want to start their journey with us. As far as I’m concerned, the day they show up to a workout and do run/walk intervals, they are a RUNNER!
 
But for some reason, that term “runner” is frequently deemed something that must be earned. What are the qualifications? Do you have to run a certain pace? Do you have to run a certain mileage? Do you have to run for several years?  Do you have to run the entire way? Do you have to run a half marathon? Maybe the real runners are only the marathoners?
 
I don’t recall ever seeing a list of requirements somewhere to call yourself a runner. If you run, even if it’s 1 block, doesn’t that mean you are a runner?

You may be surprised to hear that long distance running never came naturally to me. In high school, I woke up nervous and dreaded the cross country workouts. We typically ran 1 or 2 miles and I thought it might as well be 100. But, I made myself do it, because it was beneficial for basketball and track & field (my "real" sports) and I enjoyed the camaraderie of my team mates. Regardless of our team’s success, it was still a mental struggle for me and I never really felt like I was a distance runner. I saw myself as a jumper, a sprinter, a hurdler, a basketball player. Distance runner? NOPE. I didn’t feel great doing it, nor was I the winner at our meets, so that surely meant I didn’t rate that title.

The funny thing is, the title of this blog, "I run... therefore I am," was on the back of one of our team track shirts.  I should have paid closer attention to the message that our outstanding coaches Nancy Collins, Deb McCarthy, and Frank Nelson were trying to convey to us.  They valued every runner on the team, no matter their ability, no matter their event.  When I reflect back today, so much of how Stroller Warriors operates is because of how they led our team.
Picture
Here's an entertaining throwback photo for you, dating back to 1998! This was was one of my senior year XC meets. I was always chasing my speedy counterpart and dear friend Steph (Collins) Harder.
Years passed and I took up road races as a hobby following college. I set a goal to run a half marathon and followed a training plan carefully to get to race day. At that point, I finally considered myself a distance runner. But why did it take me completing a half marathon to feel like I earned that title?! IT SHOULDN’T HAVE.
 
Everyone has different talents. Perhaps running is not your first and most natural talent.  Perhaps it's still a new sport to you and you are still learning.  Or maybe you feel awful during most of your runs and assume only the "real" runners feel good.  (Trust me, it hurts for everyone at some point!)  No matter what you believe running is or what it should feel like, if you are out there trying, whether that's running 1 mile a couple times a week, training for a 5K, aiming for a 10K, or maybe even an ultra, you have more than earned your title as a RUNNER.
Picture
Our weekend early morning crew at Camp Lejeune, NC. All distances, all paces... all RUNNERS.
I’ve heard people discuss their long runs while training and comment on how someday, they want to be like that… a real runner. My response… you already are! Don’t sell yourself short. Training for shorter distances is less time consuming, but is still challenging.  We all have a distance that works for us. And we all have our own pace.  Every distance, at every pace, is a great accomplishment.  It seems to be a natural succession to aim for the longer distances after meeting a goal, which is great!  But there are also alternative ways to improve that should not be overlooked or undervalued.  You can take on more advanced training plans and focus on increasing your speed and endurance for those shorter distances.  Or perhaps take on a new type of race, like a duathlon, aquathon, triathlon, or Tough Mudder to incorporate running with other activities.  All these different goals keep us moving forward and that's all that really matters.

There is no such thing as a real runner.  I run… therefore I am. And that goes for you too, RUNNER.

HAPPY RUNNING,
Steph

Tales of a Trail Runner

1/16/2020

0 Comments

 
PictureOur camp site the night before my run.
I woke up at 5am, crawled out of my sleeping bag and slowly got dressed by the light of my phone. My husband was deep asleep and our four children were sleeping soundly nearby. I had 10 miles to do and was excited to be able to do them in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. We were camping this weekend. I had never been on these trails before and was excited to get out and explore. 

During my run I was greeted with huge mountain peaks to scale and some gorgeous sights to see. Since I didn’t know where I was going I decided to do an out and back course. About 4 miles into my run I saw the silhouette of a few animals ahead me on the trail. They looked a bit like Coyotes. In California, I was used to encountering coyotes on the trail. Coyotes don’t like people and in the past when I have encountered them on the trail they have kept their distance. When I move forward, they also move forward; keeping the space between us the same. In the past they had even abandoned the trail, leaving it to me.

PictureTrails make for such beautiful runs!
So I pressed forward, the mountain peak on my left side, and a drop off down the mountain on my right. I kept my eyes on them as I moved. There seemed to be 3 or 4 of them. They skittered back and forth on the trail but didn’t move further up the trail as I was expecting. I took a few more steps forward and they turned to face me and braced themselves as if to say, “I’m not scared of you!” When they turned to face me, I realized they weren’t a pack of coyotes, they were a pack of wolves!

Realizing I’m out on the trails, alone, 4 miles from camp and no one would likely hear me scream if a pack of wolves attacked me, I decided to let them have the trails for the day. I could pick up an extra 2 miles somewhere else. I wasn’t interested in pressing my luck when they weren’t moving for me. As I was deciding to turn back, I watched as one of them pranced up the hill and started making his way back towards me. He disappeared into the underbrush and while I couldn’t see him, I could hear him crashing around in the underbrush above me. This made me very nervous. Too nervous to turn around and RUN back, even thought that's what the hairs on the back of my neck were telling me to do. So, while still facing them, I started walking backwards slowly, keeping my eyes on the ones I could see the whole time. I remembered reading about how if you act weak/afraid, or if you run you will ignite their animal instinct and they will go after you. I wasn’t interested in any of that happening to me so with my heart beating out of my chest, I backed away slowly.

PictureImagine this guy and his friends, but without the snow.





















 I took about 20 steps backwards and by this point the trail had curved around the mountain enough that they couldn’t see me anymore. I turned and started running back to camp as quickly as possible. I knew I had at least one wolf to my right and above me, and several behind me. As I continued around the curve of the mountain, I practically jumped when a wolf came around the corner, RUNNING RIGHT AT ME. Instinctively, I threw my hands up really big and yelled as loud as I could, “GET BACK!!!!!” 

My heart raced. I had wolves behind me, one to the side and now one was in front of me/to the side! The wolf bared it’s teeth at me and jumped to the side, running off the path, down the mountain.​

I was really worried now that they were going to come at me again, but as a pack. So I picked up the pace, scanning the ground quickly as I ran. I found two big sticks and scooped them up as I ran. I held one in each hand as I ran, feeling somewhat comforted by the fact that I sort of had a weapon now.  

You bet your bottom dollar I negative split my run and made it back to camp far faster than I had made it out! Thankfully other than my initial wolf pack encounter my run back was completely uneventful. I had to find another route to run for my last two miles to get me to 10 miles but it’s okay. I lived to tell the tale of the day I met a pack of wolves out on the trail!

PictureRunning with friends; even more friend and safer too!
Before you go, let’s talk about what you can do to stay safe out on those trails.
1. Run with friends. 
2. Run with water/food. I always wear my camel back or bring water on trail runs, even if it’s just a few miles I have planned. You never know when you might make a bad turn and get lost. You never know how long you might be lost. Better to be prepared, just incase.​
3. Run with a whistle. Whistles are louder and carry better than voices. They also use less energy. You’ll want to be able to notify others if you get injured, and they will easily be able to notice and locate the noise of a whistle. Many hydration packs have whistles attached as a part of the buckle. Check it out. You may have one already and you just never knew? 
4. Make noise. Jingle your keys, or ring a bell or maybe play some music. You still want to be able to hear what might be coming at you, but you also want to be able to notify the wild life that you’re coming so they can get out of your way. 
5. Read up on the local animals you should be on alert for in your local area and be aware of how professionals say to respond to them. You’ll feel more confident if you have a mental plan in place and know what to look for and how to respond if you encounter an animal. 
6. Remember no matter what, you are strong. you are capable. You can do this! 


Happy Running!

How to "get it all done:" running, strength training and life

12/12/2019

0 Comments

 
One day, while out on a long run a friend asked me how I managed to “get it all done.” She was amazed that I was able to strength train 3-5x a week, train for running races and keep up with my kids (and all of their activities) while maintaining a house and cooking just about every night (I do like leftover night, ha!) 

The truth is that I haven’t always been this way. Running used to be the priority and lifting used to take a back seat (read through the lines, it didn’t get done). It has been a process to get to where I am now, but honestly, I am really happy with where I am now. I’ve been lifting consistently (and by that I mean non-stop) for 2 and a half years and I can tell a difference in my body. I am so much stronger, and I love it. 
Picture
I've got my plan written out, my special gym shoes (they're flat and don't have an elevated heel), and I'm ready to go!
PictureLunch/gym date with my husband.
I’m sure many of you know the benefits of adding strength training to your schedule. All of the experts will tell you that not only can strength training help you to be injury free, it can also help you to be stronger and faster. Strength training is also really important as you age. Weight bearing activities help to build strong bones. Having strong bones is really important as you get older! As is maintaining your muscle mass. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism (yay!). The more muscle you have, the easier it is to do just about everything! Who doesn’t want to have an easier time squatting to pick up your kids or carrying in the groceries or taking a workout class?! As you age, you naturally start to lose muscle tone. This can be counteracted by strength training. Research has proven time and time again that you can build muscle at any age with strength training! 

It’s one thing to know and understand how awesome strength training is, it’s quite another thing to fit it into your schedule, especially in this military life where consistent help with children isn’t always around. Especially when running is already a big part of your life. When you toe the line at races, people will ask how your training went and if you’re ready for the race, but they won’t ask whether or not you strength trained. 

PictureI might be on vacation in Canada, but I'm still getting a workout in!
So how have I managed to fit it all into my life? Every morning I think of 3 “non negotiables” I want to accomplish. Every day my non negotiables change. For example one morning my non negotiables might be running, lifting and doing 2 loads of laundry. Another day my non negotiables are cleaning the bathrooms, changing the sheets and going grocery shopping. It changes day, by day based on my families needs. I focus in on just three small things per day, thereby breaking it down into smaller and more manageable chunks. 

While my non-negotiable list changes daily, my determination to do them does not. Once you’re on my non-negotiable list I have 24 hours to get you done. It doesn’t matter what else happens in my life, I just need to cross those 3 things off my list! I usually try to do them first thing in the morning after the kids are off to school or soon after that. I set myself up for success by wearing my workout clothes in the morning rather than having to change again to workout. I PM or text a friend or my spouse to set up a date for running or lifting or maybe even to do both, especially if I know I need to get it done in the afternoon! 

PictureMaking working out a family affair. We took the kids to the playground and they played while we lifted.
Are you feeling motivated to start a daily non-negotiable list too? Good! I just caution you to keep it to 3 things. Don’t get overly excited and add 4 or 10 things to your list. Keep it small and manageable. You want to feel accomplished at the end of the day, not defeated. Many times (but not always) my non-negotiable list has a ripple effect on the rest of my life and after I’ve done my 3 things I’ll get motivated and do even more for myself and my family. But that doesn’t always happen. Sometimes I’m dragging and all I do is my 3 non-negotiable things. Sometimes it’s 10 pm at night and I’m in my garage gym lifting because I promised myself that I would do this today. 

There have been days in my life where my non-negotiable list is all about me. Running and lifting for example are activities I often do by myself, for me. I don’t feel guilty making “me” a priority and I don’t want you to feel guilty about having your 3 non negotiables be something for yourself either! Especially when some or maybe even all of your non negotiables are related to fitness, you will see that you will actually end up with more energy for your family. It seems counter intuitive but it’s true. I always end up with more energy after working out than I had before. I also know that not only does working out help my body, it helps my mind. I get some stress relief in my life and I am able to be a happier me for my family. 

Picture
It's pitch black outside. It's cold in the garage, but I'm in here lifting because I wrote it on my non-negotiable list for the day.
​So I encourage you to start a non-negotiable list, just put 3 things on it and make a pact with yourself that no matter what happens today, or who gets sick, you’re going to get these 3 things crossed off the list. You can do it! I know you can. 

Happy Running!

Founding Stories: Stroller Warriors® Iwakuni

11/14/2019

0 Comments

 
By Katie P.

Stroller Warriors® Iwakuni was born long before I arrived in Japan.  

May 2014, Yuma, Arizona.
I was 35 weeks pregnant with my third child and my twins were about to turn two. I was living in a bubble, mostly at home, surviving with two toddlers and my double BOB stroller, rarely venturing more than a few miles from home and I hadn’t run since my 18th week of pregnancy. I discovered a Stroller Warriors Yuma chapter was founded in January while I was living under my chaotic rock. I joined the Facebook page and promptly received a welcome response explaining they were about to start Summer break because it’s too hot for workouts in the Yuma Summer. As any mom of multiple toddlers with a baby on the way desperate for adult contact would do, I attended the last Spring workout. I didn’t know anyone, I hadn’t run in months, and I wasn’t exactly on the top of my self-esteem game. “Welcome!” “We’re so glad you came!” “Wow, 35 weeks? You look fantastic!” Other military spouses with littles had goals for 5Ks to marathons and we talked about mom life, military life, and our lives. I felt like I had found my people!
I went home and told my husband I needed to get a triple stroller or put our twins in daycare so I could run with these girls. He humored my triple stroller search. If you’re wondering, BOB hasn’t made them in years, and the only used triples I could find were upwards of $800 in San Diego. Six months later, I put my twins in preschool on workout days and hit the ground running. Yes, I scheduled preschool around running. In those first few months, I learned a lot of things. Becoming a mom is amazing, gratifying, and life altering. It also exhausting, humbling, and isolating. From my first workout, I found encouragement from fellow members, and within a few weeks I knew at least one person was counting on me to be at workouts. Even if I didn’t feel like running, I had to show up because my friends were there, and that might well be the only adult interaction I had all week! Stroller Warriors reminded me that I can do something for myself, set goals, and push myself to achieve something I didn’t realize I still needed so badly.

My new support system encouraged me to train for and run my first half marathon since having kids, and they encouraged me to set a goal beyond what I ever would have set for myself. I had been running for 30 years playing soccer and other sports, and it took Stroller Warriors before I began calling myself a runner. For the first time since having kids I was making real connections with other like-minded parents. In this crazy military world where we’re often single parenting for weeks or months at a time, these friendships are golden. While I was discovering a new world, I also had the opportunity to see women grow around me as runners and moms, wives and friends. I saw confidence build in moms who had never run a 5K, and then I watched them finish 10Ks and half marathons. I watched moms riddled with injury get the support and encouragement they needed to get stronger and work to become healthier for themselves and their children.
I spent two years running with Stroller Warriors Yuma. When my husband received our expected OCONUS orders to Iwakuni, Japan, it hit me I had to leave my incredible support system. I didn’t know the inner workings of Stroller Warriors and looked to our Chapter Coordinator, Susanna, for information about a chapter in Iwakuni. I was bummed when she told me there wasn’t one; however, she suggested I start one. We received our orders a full 6 months out, so I had plenty of time to mull this idea over while I mourned the expected loss of my best friends. The friends who watched my baby so I could get a run in, who came home on a lunch break to run with me and push one of my kids in a stroller (because I never did buy a triple!), who babysat for me during dental appointments, and came to the rescue and watched my kids while my sweet old kitty was put down. When you find your sole sisters, they become more than just running buddies.

December 2016, Iwakuni, Japan.
I was cold the moment I stepped off the plane. Four years of 120 degree summers and 75 degree winters will acclimate a girl to warm weather. MCAS Iwakuni was a construction zone and the only place that looked safe for me to run with my 2 year old in tow was the seawall, which was closed except for a half mile stretch. Iwakuni is not the big city Japan you see on TV – it’s an old town with old bumpy sidewalks and tight tiny roads and back alleys. It also has a small town charm that will make you fall in love with suburban-ish Japan. 
I did not want to go running. It was cold. Sub-30 in the mornings. It rained. A lot. My husband kicked me out the door at 5am anyway. “You’ll be happier,” he’d say! I ran alone, and then I connected with an old friend from Yuma who showed me some longer run routes off base, and showed me where she ran with her stroller. We got lost and found incredible views of the ocean from atop hills and hidden shrines tucked into the mountainside. I discovered the lotus fields, the Japanese seawall, the Kintai bridge path, and an entrance to the seawall that would suffice for a stroller. I seeked out runners on base and learned there was a previous stroller group that had disbanded some time before I arrived. I met some of the members and a leader, who shared some great routes with me, including one that became a member favorite known as the ‘pickle path’ because of the green pickle shaped signs that indicate a crosswalk. I wore Stroller Warriors shirts when I went to the commissary and the exchange, in hopes I’d find others who had run with a chapter elsewhere. I met at least one incredible friend this way, as she was also strategically wearing a SW sweatshirt in hopes of making a new friend as well. When I applied to start the chapter, I’d found exactly 6 spouses who wanted to run with Stroller Warriors. I knew they’d be at our inaugural workout. That was all the motivation I needed to get us going. I didn’t expect them to show up with their 40 closest friends and what seemed like at least 50 kids!
Membership in Iwakuni is easy. Volunteers and motivators are plentiful. We explored Iwakuni on foot together. We found hidden shrines and a dozen routes to Iwakuni’s famous Kintai Bridge. By the end of our first year, we had 30 members competing in the Kintai half marathon or 10K, the only local annual race. An annual relay race held by the city and MCAS Iwakuni started up and we put together multiple teams of 4-10 to compete in costumes among the locals. Stroller Warriors Iwakuni may have been born in Yuma, AZ, but it has always belonged in Iwakuni. My personal experience with Stroller Warriors has become a similar experience for dozens of other military spouses living overseas stationed at MCAS Iwakuni. I left Stroller Warriors Iwakuni in the trusted hands of Mallory, who I met wearing a Stroller Warriors sweatshirt in the commissary. Soon, Mallory will pass the torch to a new leader who will continue to share a passion while providing a place for spouses to find encouragement, support, and motivation.

by: Kelly

I feel like I should start off this blog with an apology. I’m sorry for getting this to you so late! Stroller Warriors Coordinators around the world keep track of how awesome their club is and send all of this data in to us at SWHQ. One of my jobs is to compile all of this data into a wonderful snapshot for you all to see just how INCREDIBLE our worldwide team is!
 
This year, my family PCSd to Okinawa, Japan and in the midst of the packers and chaos of an overseas move, the data for SW by the Numbers got put down and didn’t get picked back up until now.
However, that doesn’t change how amazing our club is, nor does it negate any of the positive work we do around the world. My motto has always been, that it is better late than never! Whenever we compile these lists, we are always surprised by the sheer magnitude of the story that the numbers tell. It is absolutely inspiring! So here we are without further ado, we excitedly present to you:

Priceless: The positive impact of Stroller Warriors, not just on its members but on the surrounding community too!
 
I want to take a minute to highlight just a few of the things Stroller Warriors has done for our world. 375 pairs of shoes were donated through the Stroller Warriors! As runners, we know the importance of a good pair of shoes. The wrong pair of shoes will stop forward progress. You wouldn’t want to put one foot in front of the other if it resulted in pain and blisters. Having the right pair of shoes that are the right size can make a world of a difference in someone’s life! And we are so proud of our chapters for making a difference.
Many of our chapters supported Wreaths Across America, both in Volunteer hours and in purchasing of wreaths. Wreaths Across America says this about their mission, “In many homes there is an empty seat for one who is serving or who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We show our veterans and families that we will not forget. We will never forget.” I think this message of always being looked after, never forgotten has touched the heart of many Warriors in our military community. Eleven of our chapters participated in Wreaths Across America events. As a team we raised $6,582 dollars for Wreaths Across America, which enabled the purchase of 422 wreaths. To accomplish the task of laying the wreaths, we provided a minimum of 81 volunteer hours. I am so proud of our team and of their dedication to remembering all of our veterans!
The Stroller Warriors of Fort Worth came up with a unique idea to support their local community. They decided to adopt a spot and signed up for the long term cleaning and care of a local playground that they and their children use. Periodically the chapter holds extra events there and members come out to clean up the playground and make it beautiful again. We are so proud of our team for not only taking the time to clean up our world, but also for picking a long term project that doesn’t end in one day; it’s an on going and continued commitment they have made. WELL DONE STROLLER WARRIORS!!
Stroller Warriors around the world regularly host Dedication Runs. They run in honor of those who can’t and they help to raise money or awareness for certain causes or organizations. This year numerous dedication runs were held and we’d like to highlight those causes now.
 
Dedication Runs/Workouts hosted by the Stroller Warriors:

Halloween is just a few weeks away! Have you starting thinking of a stroller costume idea to attend your chapter's Stroller Treating or Trunk or Treat events or maybe even your local 5K or 10K?! The Warriors at Stroller Warriors® Quantico have continually knocked this task out of the park so we are highlighting a handful of their creative stroller costumes on the blog today.
Let the scrolling begin!
Picture
Amanda made the perfect bat-mobile ride for her little batman!
Picture
Aileen, aka Chewie, gave her Ewoks a ride in a very creative pumpkin.
Picture
Megan turned her Chariot into an actual Chariot complete with horses!
Picture
Lauren is the dragon protecting the princess in her castle! How adorable is that?!
Picture
It's a zoo! I think the bear got the easier end of the deal here. Holly, the zebra, had to push not just the bear, but the cage too!
Picture
When all else fails, borrow a sheet and some felt and turn your kids into ghosts. Invite them to make creepy noises as you run!
Picture
Erin, the baker, turned her stroller into a cupcake stand, complete with the most adorable cupcake!

Transitioning your Child(ren) out of the Stroller

8/28/2019

1 Comment

 
PicturePost run stretching and photo. No stroller!
There comes a time in every Stroller Warrior’s life when her/his children are ready to start logging some miles of their own. We’re here to make that transition for you a little bit easier. I have compiled advice from numerous Stroller Warriors who have been there, done that and have come through the other end triumphant. Without further ado, here are some awesome tips and tricks!
 
Don’t immediately ditch the stroller!There will be a transition period while your mini warrior builds up his or her stamina and you’re going to want a backup plan during that period. Bring the single or the double stroller along, even if your mini has also brought their bike or scooter. There were MANY times where my son lost steam (sometimes only 5 minutes into our run!) and there was no moving him. I am so happy I still had the stroller and could let him climb in with his sister. I’d put his bike on top of the stroller and continue on my way. 
 
Don’t feel like your child needs to go from stroller to bike, there are many other options. Many have found the scooter to be a wonderful transition between stroller rider and biker. With the scooter, your mini won’t be able to go as fast, and therefore it will be even easier for you to keep them in site. The scooter also gives them the chance to build their muscles and their stamina without the height of a fall off a bike. Strider bikes are another great alternative. Keep reading to learn more about strider bikes.

PictureBand-Aid needed.
​Bring Band-Aids.  You never know when there might be an accident, so keep band aids on hand just in case. For many children Band-Aids are a magic fix it all and can improve their mood and keep them going. Who doesn’t like having a magic wand around?!

​Strider bikes work! Strider bikes look like regular bikes but they don’t have pedals. They’re also usually lower to the ground. I can tell you from experience, strider bikes work to teach your kids how to ride a bike, STRESS FREE! I remember learning to ride a bike as a kid. After my parents took off my training wheels I fell off into the bushes and onto the ground more times than I can count. It actually made me afraid of biking. I remember my Dad having to run alongside me to make sure I didn’t fall or try to catch me if I did. Thankfully those are not my parenting memories of teaching my kids to ride a bike! We used strider bikes for all 4 of our kids. They learned to balance first and learned to pedal second. Once they got the hang of balancing on their strider bike, it was literally a day or two later that they were able to jump onto their regular bike and head off –without falling! My kids can keep up with me on their strider bikes, and I feel so much safer with them on their striders than on regular bikes while at a Stroller Warriors workout. All they have to do to stop is put their legs down. If you want a stress-free learning to bike experience, get a new or use strider bike.

Picture
Here are two different versions of strider bikes. The kids were happy to find a bus stop to take a minute to sit down and rest. They've been working hard!
Picture
​
Go to the track!If your local track allows bikes and scooters, that’s a great place to get them started and build their confidence right along with their muscles. They can gain a little bit independence from you and you both can stop whenever you’re tired. No trek back home required. 

​Build up a trusting relationship with strong boundaries. They’re new to this, and likely very excited! However, sometimes there are roads to cross and other runners and strollers to be aware of. Take the time to teach them the rules of the road/trail. Teach them to say, “On your left” if they will be passing someone, and to move to right if someone says, “On your left.” Teach them all of your rules and boundaries. How close to you do they need to be? Do they need to stay with a certain person/friend? Can they cross streets without you or do they need to stop and wait? Can they turn around and bike back towards you? or do you want them to pause where they are wand wait for you to catch up?Setting up your expectations ahead of time, will make your day go a whole lot smoother.
 
Use your tribe!Many warriors have talked about how they sometimes have a fast mini warrior and a slower mini warrior, all at the same time. What are you to do when you can’t be in two places at once? Use your tribe! Talk with your fellow warriors and plan out who will be with the fast kids and who will be with the slower kids. Switch it up so one person doesn’t get stuck always in the back or always in the front. In the past I have asked our lead runner if it would it be okay for my child/children to bike with her? When she has said, yes. I’ve made sure to have a talk with her and my kids to go over my rules with them. For example I usually say, “You can’t go past Mrs. Lindsay, and you need to turn around when she turns around. You also need to listen to her, just as you would listen to me.” I also check in with her after the run to thank her and make sure they listened well and she didn’t run into any problems having them with her. 
 
Remember two key words, patience and practice! When you first start out, you will likely be waiting on them. There will be falls, and scratches and all kinds of delays. Keep practicing. Practice a lot. Practice prior to Stroller Warrior workouts so they can get the hang of riding their bike or scooter before being with a crowd on a bike or a scooter. You can break it down into multiple small segments from the house, 3 minutes out and 3 minutes back and build from there. You can practice multiple times a day. Take small steps to help build their confidence and their muscles. Before you know it, they will be zooming past you on their own.

Picture
​Watch out for sleepy kids!  Keep an eye on your child’s level of exhaustion. If they’re too tired have them ride in the stroller or abort for the day. Katie has experienced this first hand. She didn’t realize how tired her son was until he fell asleep at an evening workout and rode his bike right into the seawall. She says, “I felt terrible and didn’t look like the mother of the year.” We all know accidents happen. No judgement here! Take this as a learning lesson for us all, and maybe take a minute to ask your child if they are feeling tired before heading out. 
 
Which reminds me, don’t forget the helmets! Safety comes first! You never know when an accident is going to happen. Traumatic Brain Injuries are a very real and scary thing. Helmets were invented for a reason. Keep an extra in your car if you need to, to help you remember to have one on hand for your mini warrior. 
 
Remember snacks and water.  I can pretty much guarantee if you have a biker or a mini warrior on a scooter, they are going to get thirsty. They may want to stop 3-4 times to “have a rest” and take a drink. Make sure you have enough for you and them, so that no one is left wanting. Their muscles can benefit just as much as yours from a post-run snack. Research shows that eating something small within 30 minutes after a workout helps your muscles to quickly repair and rebuild faster than if you don’t eat anything.

If your biker is having trouble keeping up, check out the tire size of their bike. My son was having trouble keeping up with us. He was getting frustrated and not having fun. We upgraded his bike to the next tire size and literally the next day he could keep up! With the bigger tires he was able to use the same amount of effort to go further and faster.
 
We’re so happy we could help you along in your transition in this small way, by sharing our best tips and tricks. If you have more tips and tricks we haven’t talked about above please post below and share with your fellow Stroller Warriors!
 
Happy Running!

Stroller Running with a Toddler

8/15/2019

0 Comments

 
We’re here with you today to share our best tips and tricks to help you have successful runs with your toddler!

Most children love the stroller, or learn to love it. So don’t be discouraged if they cry on your first time out. Don’t feel like you have to go full steam right away either. You can start with smaller increments of time, like 10 minutes and build up by 5 or 10 minutes each day until you’re at your desired time for a run.

Make sure your toddler is dressed appropriately for the weather and has adequate blankets (if needed). If they are too hot or too cold, they will likely make sure you and everyone in a 10-mile radius is well aware!
Make sure to buckle your child in safely. You never know when a car will jump the sidewalk or when an accident is going to happen. If you and your child get into the habit of practicing safety first, it will be second nature (and won’t cause fights) later in life.

Bring snacks and a drink along for the ride. Having food and drink along will help the run go so much smoother. Some moms have found success in keeping special snacks JUST for stroller runs to help their children associate stroller runs as something positive and special.
Picture
It was a squeeze pouch AND 2 dum dums kind of run!
If your child likes to throw things, consider investing in something that makes the sippy cup or snack attached to the stroller. That way you won’t have to stop and start a million times. Still stay alert though, you never know what they’re going to throw out! One time I went on a run and when I got back I noticed my little was missing a shoe! I had zoned out on the run while they napped and could not tell you when or where the shoe was lost. Thinking it must have been recently I backtracked looking for it. I did find it, exactly at my turn around point and ended up doing DOUBLE the miles I was intending to.
Picture
Leash/lanyard to keep items from getting launched out of the stroller during a run!
Engage with them as you run! It’s fun for them to talk with you and look out for the things you’re looking at. This will also help them to learn words and will broaden their vocabulary. I always asked my toddlers to repeat back to me words to help them learn and to see how they are able to say it. Some things are just too adorable to not hear and capture. For example, my third child calls a lunch box a, "rumpus." Had I not had her repeat it back to me as we were running to the park, I never would have known what she was talking about!

Consider playing music for them during the run. They may have favorite songs that help to calm them or they might be lulled by the music and take a good nap.

If possible stop and start at a playground. This will give them some time to be active too and they’ll begin to associate stroller runs with FUN for them too!
Picture
Reward of post run play time!
Invite another Mom along for the fun! Not only will you get company, but so will your child. The monkey see, monkey do effect will start to come into play. You don’t know how many times I’ve seen first time Warriors shocked that their kids did so well in the stroller on their first day. I think part of it is that with other people around there is a lot going on to see. The other part is peer pressure. The other kids are doing it and not complaining, so they don’t complain either. Sometimes peer pressure can work in wonderful ways! Like with happy stroller runs and potty training. But I digress.
Picture
Running with friends is more fun for you AND your toddler!
Don’t forget diapers and wipes. You never know when they might have a major blow out and it’s best to be prepared, just in case!

If your toddler is into baby wearing, bring along a baby carrier. As your child gets heavier it’s even harder to hold them while steering a stroller. If you do end up needing to walk with them you can strap them into the baby carrier and push the stroller with two hands.

If they have successfully ridden in the stroller for awhile, reward them with a bit of run time of their own! They want nothing more than to be like you - so when the playground is in sight, unbuckle them and have them "race" you to the park!
Picture
Doing a bit of running herself... just like Mom! :)
My best advice for those of you getting out there with toddlers is to be persistent. Keep trying. Don’t give up. Don’t let one bad day or one bad week dictate what the rest of your life will look like. When you are patient and persistent, eventually they will learn. You can have the best of both worlds, fun for them and a workout for you! Best of luck!

Happy Running!
Kelly
