Amazing Race!!!

Today was our Amazing Race challenge day. Last week I set everyone up on teams and asked that they really give it their all and come up with team themes and decorate their strollers. I am SOOO impressed with my hard working Stroller Strides Mamas. I was really blown away by all your creativity and how well this whole thing work. SO amazing. You ladies and Moms are awesome and proved today how much fun class can be. Great Job Ladies...here's to more fun challenges in the future!!
 Camo Cuties
 Mother Goose (Hey Diddle Diddle, Mary Mary Quite Contrary, and Humpty Dumpty)
 Fiesta Fitness
 USA
 We'll Gobble You Up!
 At their first fitness island.
 Challenge: picking up cups (there were 196), counting them, and putting them back down for the next team
 running back down the hill
 getting to the leg station
 coming back for a "That's How We Roll Challenge"
 Humpty Dumpty
 May Mary...
 Fiesta babies
 running up the hill
 a Camo cutie for sure

 Team USA, Sarah lucked out, the twins were hungry so our helper Moms fed the babies while she worked out without a stroller
 Impressing me to the FULLEST....these Moms taught a total stranger how to do the "monkey" exercise!
 WINNERS!!! Fiesta Fitness
2nd place.

We'll Gobble You Up, came in as our winner for decorating. I asked the total stranger to pick the winning team for stroller decoration and she said that since it was November their theme was most accurate. She mentioned that the Camo Cuties were 2nd since it's hunting season, and also Team USA since yesterday was Veteran's Day.

You all did SUCH an amazing job and I am SOOOOO blown away by the decorations and total enthusiasm for today's race. This is for sure going to be done in the future. Great Job ladies. You also completed a REALLY HARD WOKOUT....

November Mom of the Month

 Our November Mom of the Month is Susanne Laws!!!
Susuanne (pictured above with daughter Frannie, and when she was pregnant with Frannie) has been attending Stroller Strides since 2007. She is our longest attending member to date and we are so glad that she's stuck with Stroller Strides for so long. Her son Riley was born in February 2007 and she joined when he was just 6 weeks old. Since then she has been a regular attendee and welcomed daughter Frannie in 2009. She worked out the entire time she was pregnant and was back as soon as the Dr. cleared her. Even though her oldest is in school, she still attends regularly with Frannie.  Susanne has had a really fit year! She has been running more on her own the days she can not come to class, and this year she joined the ranks on our Beach to Bay team. She's funny, smart and always makes us laugh. Here's to many more workouts Susanne...you ROCK!
