You know you’re a runner when your kids say in passing ‘you bin for a run?’, like it’s part of normal mum life now. Insert broad Leeds accent for kids. 🏃🏻‍♀️

You do know when you have been for a run, there are plenty of running mom's in the country nowadays, I hope you are enjoying your running, maybe your children could go a run with you.

Your right running is part of every day life on here it's great and what's even more great is that your kids have noticed 😊

My 8 yr old daughter checks in that I have been for my run! She’s my personal trainer and I’m a little bit afraid 😂
