It is that time of year again in the blogging world where 5 Minutes for Mom likes to throw this massive, Ultimate Blog Party! Each year they host a party introducing bloggers to other bloggers… and people to new and fun blogs! I am not the only running mom blog on the web… but I think Running Rachel is pretty darn special. I am glad you decided to stop by!!
If you are new to Running Rachel from the ultimate blog party, Welcome! I am excited to get to know YOU and hope that you stick around and get to know me as well!
I’m Rachel, a married never-at-home stay-at-home Mom to three little boys ages 6 and under. I am a perfectly imperfect servant of Christ. I love all things faith, fitness, family, friendships and coffee!

What will you find on Running Rachel?
I share my adventures as I run through life one day at a time. I would consider this a Mommy Blog who blogs about faith, family, fitness and fun. Being a mom of three small boys is often hilarious and always an adventure.
Running for Faith: I am a servant of Christ. I am not perfect, nor do I pretend to be. I am flawed in every sense of the word. I share my struggles and my “ah ha” moments.
Running for Family: Family is very important to me. I write about the many adventures that my children and I encounter each day.
Running for Fitness: I love all things fitness. Running is my go to exercise. You will find me sharing tips and tricks to help you on your fitness journey. I love encouraging and supporting other women (Mom’s) on their fitness journey! I also share my adventures juggling fitness with motherhood.
What is a party without party swag!? Just because I love my readers, I am offering one lucky reader a $25 Gift Card to Amazon.com.
Check back daily, as I have many giveaways going live this week to celebrate in style!

Wow. It is so interesting to see all the blogs that are being written! I found yours through UBP12 and I am so happy about it. I look forward to reading about your running adventures!
Love your blog! So happy to have found it. I love the same things! Working out makes me so happy-that’s what my husband tells me HA! I have run two half marathons and did one triathlon. Training right now for more races this year. Great to meet you. look forward to reading more posts 🙂

Rachel,
Stopping by from the blog party. Beautiful pic of you and your boys. I like the positive feel you have going here in your space.
Hi Rachel, it is great to meet you. I haven’t run in quite a while (SIGH), but I did graduate the Couch to 5K. :o) I just need to get back into it.
Enjoy your weekend of hopping!
Blessings!

I am a follower blogger who found you through the Christian blogs on UBP. I also blog and this has been a great way to meet other Christian bloggers. Keep up the great work.
Great giveaway and thank you for listing my giveaway! You rock!
I LOVE your honesty. I don’t wear makeup to the pool either!! Can’t wait to read more about your family!!
Wow, you are superwoman! Look at you running with 3 babies. 🙂 I have 4 boys and you are right it’s a blast! Nice to “meet” you.
We seem to have alot in common! I will definitely be following you!
Hello Rachel, it’s so nice to meet you! I love running! But I have to go alone and before anyone else is up because I’m a weird dance-while-I-run runner. My husband keeps threatening to put me on YouTube, lol. I just started my fitness journey in January. I’ve just been making 1 small change every couple of days and it’s been great! I feel SO much stronger already. It’s way empowering. I’m really interested in your ideas for balancing fitness and family- I still haven’t quite figured that part out. Looking forward to getting to know you!
Nice to meet you! I’m visiting from the UBP2012 and I’m following you now. Thanks and I’d love for you to stop by: http://www.ordinaryinspirations.blogspot.com/2012/04/welcome-to-ultimate-blog-party-2012.html
I love your blog! Our sites/lives are similar and I look forward to reading more of your posts!
Your life sounds full of fun and adventure with three young boys! Visiting from UBP12.
Hi, Rachel!
It’s so nice to “meet” you! I love everything you blog about, except… uh, running. But I do love exercise, does that count? We have three boys, too (and two girls), and they just light up my life. I’m so excited to read more of your posts!
Blessings,
Jamie
