Do you ever think it’s too hard for a mom to find regular time for fitness and prayer? Well, here’s an inspiring story of some moms who made fitness and prayer a priority—with great results!
Mamas Movin’ With Mary started when three Catholic moms decided to get together regularly with the goal of training for a half-marathon.
We are three moms who love walking for exercise. In 2009 we decided to train for the Columbus Half Marathon. Our team walks took place on Saturday mornings and we often talked about how wonderful it was to take time for ourselves. Each week we prayed a rosary together and as our devotion to the Blessed Mother grew our hearts became filled with peace and we felt a closer connection to our Lord. We began to fully appreciate and understand the phrase “To Jesus through Mary”. With increased endurance and enriched faith we completed the Columbus Half Marathon and called ourselves “Mamas Movin’ With Mary”.
It is now our goal to inspire others to take time for themselves and “Get Movin’ With Mary”.
The “Mamas” even designed their own running shirts—super comfortable and cute ones!
We’re very excited to share our motivational t-shirts with you: they’re women’s black, moisture-wicking shirts with our logo on the front and “Hail Marys aren’t just for football” on the back. We plan to expand our product line to include men’s shirts in the near future. A portion of our proceeds will benefit the Brian Muha Foundation, an amazing Columbus, Ohio based organization that helps inner-city children. Be sure to check out our Facebook page!
The Mamas have been kind enough to offer one of their shirts in a giveaway here at Faith & Family Live.
To enter, all you have to do is post a comment here, sharing your own fitness or prayer goal for the month of September.
I will take entries until 6:00 pm EST Friday, September 3, and draw a random winner soon after that, and announce over the weekend.
Good luck to you and thank you to the Mamas!
