Run happy, run healthy

In case we needed more evidence that running is good for us and our kids, a recent study from Harvard and Washington University found that women who were physically active between the ages of 12 and 35 and especially between 12 and 22, had lower incidences of breast cancer. Just one more reason to get out there and model good habits for our daughters!   Exercise may also relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety so there’s another thing to put in the “pro” running column.

If I can’t appeal to your sense of wellness, how about your sense of fashion?

How cute is this shirt? The shirt and necklace are from Run Happy Tees.  Run Happy was started by a couple of running mamas proving once again that fit mamas can run the world, literally and figuratively!

By the way, I don’t have any stake in any of the gear I’ve featured on my blog.  If and when I do have a personal interest in anything, I’ll let you know.  It’s just stuff I like and think you might too.

Here’s a song for your running mix that always makes me happy, though it annoys me that it’s on a cell phone commercial.  My dad loved Cat Stevens so this is another song from my childhood and it’s also in one of the best movies ever, Harold and Maude.
