We know many mommas and poppas are finding it hard to find time currently, so this one is for you! 

As always, there are a few things you will need to consider to stay injury-free.  

# RunPainFree's common sense PSA: if you are on cobblestone streets, on a jacked-up road, or going down a hill – use your gorilla grip on the stroller! 

Running with a stroller is an exceptional tool for parents. You'll find you have more opportunities in the day to run, and your kids will love it. If you've been thinking about running with a stroller, make sure you run behind it with an open gate. Keep both hands on the stroller, but play with tapping it in front of you. Other than that, get out there and enjoy running with your kids!

· Initially start slow, small, and close to home 

· In cool weather, pack something warm for yourself for the unplanned stops

· Don't forget to pack extra food for your kids
