Our December Mom of the Month is Erin Shultz! Congratulations Erin!
Erin has been with us since Stroller Strides opened in March, and has set a great example for all of our members in her commitment to fitness and to Stroller Strides-- she drives all the way from Durham several times a week to our workouts (even while still working part-time as a nurse), and has made exercise a part of her regular routine, with great results. She also recently completed our "Running Mamas" 5k Training Program, running a great time in her first-ever 5k, the Apex Turkey Trot, on Sat Nov 20th! Join us in congratulating Erin, and check out her answers below to get to know her a little better ;).
Hometown: We moved a lot growing up but I mostly lived in Baltimore, MD
Current part of the Triangle that you live in: Durham, a bit of a commute to Stroller Strides but totally worth it :)
Education: Bachelor's in Nursing
Stroller Strides Member since: the beginning :)
Members of your Family: My husband Bret and our 14 month old daughter Olivia
Tell us about your child/children: Olivia is the light of our lives! She is fun, energetic and always on the go!
Current/previous Career: I have been a NICU nurse for 12 years and currently work part-time. It was my first love before Bret and Olivia :)
What was your childhood ambition? To be a mom
What does motherhood mean to you? It means everything to me. I have wanted to be a mom my whole life and it has met and exceeded all of my expectations!
What is the furthest you have been from home? I went to Spain on a high school trip.
What has Stroller Strides done for you? It has kept me motivated to exercise even on days when I don't really feel like it. It is so nice to be able to exercise with Olivia in tow and not have to worry about childcare. It also provided us with a nice structure/routine to our day especially when she was an infant.
What is your favorite exercise? I enjoy the arm toning exercises because that's not something I would do on my own.
What is your proudest moment? The day Olivia was born!
What are three of your favorite things (besides your family!)? The beach, good food, and a nice hot bath! Not all at the same time :)
Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us or makes you unique. I've lived in 9 states. MD, CA, NY, NH, NC, VA, PA, WA, VT
If we asked your spouse what they think your best qualities are, what would they say? I asked him and he said patience and that I'm a good mom.
