I do the school run running. It's efficient, and it's a great way to squeeze my run in to my day.

But there's one big drawback: I've lost my private, quiet time.

Running used to time for just me

Running used to be special time just for me, myself and I. A time do do something just for me. A time to NOT be the mom, and just be me.

When I take the kids to school running, I'm still a mom. A mom who's running, but a mom nonetheless. 

And I miss the solitude of running on my own. Especially since my two sons insist on telling me all about Pokémons and Minecraft.

The Silver Lining

And that's where the silver lining comes in. Listening to their stories about Pokemon and Minecraft, makes me run faster so I can continue with my own story.
