The Stroller Warrior Life

I have recently started to call the way I live the Stroller Warrior life, and let me tell how enriching and wonderful it is!

For me, my military life is intertwined and interconnected on every level with Stroller Warriors
and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
 
No matter what base I go to the Stroller Warriors have been my friends and my family. They’re there for me with meals and hugs when I need them. They make sure I get up in the morning to meet them for runs - runs that will take care of my body and my mind. They help me to be a better me so I can turn around and help not only my family, but also my community.

They’ve helped me to live a life of service to others, creating opportunities for me to give back not only to the very group that helps me, but also to give back to the surrounding community. It is scientifically proven that giving back to others helps boost your mood and helps you to be a happier you.
 
They’ve pushed me as an athlete. They’ve helped me give my best at workouts – for how can you not give your best when everyone else around you is pushing themselves? They’ve shared their knowledge with me, words of wisdom from their coaches, lessons they’ve learned themselves as runners, mistakes they’ve made and learned from and so much more. Their words of wisdom have helped me to be a better athlete and reach goals that previously were only dreams.

They’ve encouraged me to push harder and reach further for a goal that at one point seemed completely out of reach. In doing so they’ve helped me to redefine myself. To redefine the load I am capable of handling and the goals I am capable of reaching. They have taught me that I am capable.
 
They’ve shared words of encouragement with me that have been exactly what I needed in that moment in time - words that have lifted me up, words that have calmed my spirit. Words that have helped me realize this deployment will eventually end and everything will be okay.
 
No matter what my day or week has been like, I know I can go to Stroller Warriors and when I leave I will have endorphins humming through my veins and a smile on my face.

Stroller Warriors has enriched my children’s lives, which as a mother is so heartwarming to see. My children have developed best friends who they are genuinely excited to see and play with. My children know what a burpee is, what a squat is and excitedly call out, “Look! A Stroller Warrior!” at every runner we pass. It is common for my children to hold exercise classes or Ragnar races and they have so much FUN incorporating exercise into their play.

 
I challenge you. If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines wondering if you’ll fit in… please, come and join in. You and your life will be changed for the better. If you’ve been attending Stroller Warriors but only once in a blue moon… commit to a full month of attending. You won’t be sorry! If you’re a regular attendee, go next door and invite your neighbor to join you at the next workout.
 
The Stroller Warrior life is enriching and wonderful. Everyone deserves to have an enriching and wonderful life! Please come and join in on the fun!
 
Happy Running!
Kelly
