SBS last summer, about to embark on a steamy summer run with a load of Portland-area mother runners.

Sarah and Dimity go guest-less this week to discuss whether it’s easier or tougher to fit exercise into the family summer lifestyle. Early on in this fun, meandering conversation, it’s evident the two mother runners fall on opposite ends of the summer-is-sweet scale. With input from the Another Mother Runner Facebook community sprinkled in, the gals talk about whether longer daylight hours make for more time to work out—or fewer hours of shut-eye, making it tougher to rise and shine for 5:00 a.m. runs. Both gals admit they are more adventurous in their summer workouts. Along the way, find out how Dimity’s husband did at Grandma’s Marathon (and how that race as Dim, “crushing hard on Minnesota”); what recent athletic endeavor was “an exercise in patience” for Dimity; and hear reminders why running can the a rock in your life.
