Most of you know, but maybe not all of you, that I am also a personal trainer and fitness instructor. Health and fitness has always been another passion in life. I was asked a few months back to lead the group warm up for the March for Babies walk put on through the March of Dimes. I had owned and operated a local Stroller Strides until recently and last year my team had earn a nice sum of money for the organization. I was no longer teaching the class and had plans to be out of town that weekend so I had to decline. Fast forward two months later to this week and they still needed an instructor so they called me again. Plans fell through for my trip so I accepted the offer and Jeff, Benny and I headed out the door early in the AM to start the group off right. I handed the camera off to Jeff to take some pictures and brought Benny with me front and center. The director asked if I needed someone to watch the little guy and I said he was going to do it with me. And that is exactly what he did. He could of done it himself. He followed every move I did from stretching to squatting and the crowd loved it. It took the eyes off me too, which was nice. I was a proud mommy. For the last three years Benny has been by my side through workouts and he knew just what to do.
After the race he instantly made friends with one of the coordinators daughters and helped by passing out water bottles to the finishers. It was a great family activity and for a good cause.
