But, we are not the only ones who are affected by our active lives. Our little ones tag along on endless runs, suffer through monster treadmill sessions and give up time on their vacations, so that we can do what we love. And it's about time that we thank them. That's where Training Tag-Alongs comes in.
Training Tag-Alongs is a Richmond-based apparel company that recognizes the dedication, support (and tolerance!) your little one has for your exercise addiction! Here's how the company was started,
"When the founder's pride and joy arrived in May of 2005, she didn’t let the trials of motherhood stand in the way of fitness. She picked up a jogging stroller and pounded the pavement. Through heat, rain and snow, her son was always along for the ride. Less than a year later, she qualified for the Boston Marathon with a blistering-fast 26.2 miles in Virginia Beach. It was in Beantown, after a fruitless search for a souvenir for her favorite training partner, that the Training Tag-Alongs concept was born! Now, with the help of the Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing (a.k.a. “husband”) and Vice President of Product Testing (a.k.a. “son”), Training Tag-Alongs boasts a wonderfully unique and creative collection of T-shirts, stickers, and bibs."
Here are just a few of the adorable designs available.
Now, thanks to the great people at Training Tag-Alongs, three lucky readers will win their choice of one of these shirts for their training tag-along. (All of my girls have worn the "Marathoner In Training" shirt, which has been a big hit with my gang). PLUS, an additional 10 readers will win a 26.2 mile marker sticker (see picture above).

I am a follower already. And apparently the FIRST to comment.
I gave up FB and Twitter for Lent.. so I will have to head to the local library today. LOL!
I like:
1. You just got passed by a girl.
2. Triathelete in training
3. Running is the new soccer.
I added it to my giveaway list... at #1... okay it is the only one listed for this week!
I think both of my tag-a-longs would appreciate these shirts. It would help them feel a part of what I was doing away from them... and when they job with me... we can be a united team.
So cute! I'm gonna have to get 2 to headoff the fighting that would ensue with just one!
I love You just got passed by a girl

I show my appreciation for my tag alongs with a big hug and kiss on the racecourse as well as plenty of expo swag!
Love this product..one of those "why didn't I think of that" things. Anyhow, I'd get the pink shirt for my daughter or the "mommy's training partner" for my son.
I'm already a fan.
Cute, cute, cute! But I'm too impatient (and never win anything anyway) so I went ahead and bought a couple of things! Thanks for bringing this company to my attention! :-)

I advertised the giveaway on my FB status! :0)
My kids no longer need to tag along and I would guess they don't make t-shirts in their sizes :) ...but what a great idea!
I will link the giveaway to my blog, but I will not be entering the draw.
Great giveaway, TMB! I like the "Marathoner in Training" design! Too cute!

When the weather is nice, I usually end a run at the park so T Junior can run around and play. :) Or, I try to balance the day. If we run in the morning, then after his nap we'll go do something for him, like the library or an indoor play area (if it's raining).
I like the running is the new soccer.

After my Tag-along spends the time so patiently in the stroller, I spend extra time with him running around in the yard. It is my cool down time, but he doesn't know that. It's mommy play time.

I love the Mom's Official training partner or the Marathoner in training shirts. Too cool!!
I am a happy Follower :)

We take our tag-alongs to the park after we run or to get a smoothie snack. Win win!!
This is a great giveaway!! I am already a follower of your awesome blog!
I just linked this to my blog! I so want to win a t-shirt for one of my boys!
I went to the website and really like the "Mom's favorite training partner" shirt! My second favorite was the "are we there yet" shirt!
I am already a facebook fan of yours!
I show them I appreciate them by being enthusiastic about them wanting to be involved and curious. I want to set a good example and that really is the best thing I can do for them.
Especially over the winter I have enjoyed them coming down to the basement to hang with me while I run on the treadmill. They love to come chat and show me things.
I try and spend more time with them after a run when I have been away and they love to ask questions about it.
This summer I will get to use the jogger again and my 2 year old loves to go for rides!
OOOH! I think the Marathoner in training would be PERFECT for my little girl! :)
I follow you!

I show my kiddos I aprreciate them with LOTS of trips to the park and 1 on 1 reading time. :)

My tag-along races with me whenever I can. There are some races that he will ask to do because there is a kids' run. It's hard to say no to a child who wants to be active and wants me to run at the same time.
And, my tag-alongs usually get most of my swag. Big tees are great for sleeping in.
I love the "You just got passed by a girl"! and Mommy's favorite tag-alongs.

Not in it for the prize, since I don't have a little one, but those sure are cute!!
Already following you!

What a fun idea! I liked the "wanna race? catch me if you can" - we are out of the stroller phase here! :)
I try to make special muffins before a race for my husband and our four kids. They all love muffins and it is something I can do for them. They come to every race! I have great supporters!
I'm a stalker, uh, follower.
I would buy the "Mom's Official Training Partner".

I show S & D how much I appreciate them by allowing them days that I focus on their exercise. As many times as they have "tagged along" on my runs, SS classes, etc. I do the same by watching their every moves at CORE and every chance we get to play outside. I want them to know how important exercise is to me and hopefully showing them support while they do exercise will help it become a natural part of their lives.
I like the marathoner in training shirt and the My mommy race a marathon (and the name of the marathon) I am running my 1st marathon in October and me and 2 of my friends have been trying to decide what to have our little ones wear when we race. I will have to share this website with them.
thanks!
My little boy is 17mos and is everything to me!!! I actually began running after I had him as a way to get myself healthy and to raise my son knowing that he has a healthy mommy, and hopefully he will in turn live a healthy lifestyle. He is my motivation every day to get out there and make healthy choices, and to finish that run, no matter how much is hurts! He is always there for me to cheer me on when I cross the finish line. He will be there for my first 1/2 in April and in Chicago for mommy's first marathon. I can't wait!!!
already a follower -- thanks for the opportunity!!
I show my little supporters how much I appreciate them by incorporating them into my training and my runs. They "train" with me and my daughter competes in the kids races. I'm showing them how to live a healthy and active lifestyle. I reward them with healthy treats.
I like "Mommys Official Training Partner" TOO CUTE!!
I'm a follower of your blog already but I don't really need an entry. Just wanted to comment how cute these shirts are!! Too bad I don't have any kids to put them on ;)
I'm a newer follower & just became a fan. I'll link to your giveaway on my next post tomorrow. The shirts are so cute. I'd be thrilled with any of them but I think my daughter would love the you got passed by a girl.
Oh & how I reward them. For my 4 yr old I turned my workout room into a workout/play room where she gets to play with special toys when I run on the treadmill. She loves it! AND I love it because it keeps her busy :-)
Those shirts are so cute, I would go with the "Mom's official training partner" one.
And a FB fan.

&
Marathoner in Training

My tag along thinks it is hilarious that I run in the first place. We actually entered a race as a family and he rode in the BOB - he loved this so much!
I make sure that he has special trips to the park on days that he has to ride in the stroller during training days to help him know how much I appreciate his patience.
I'm a new follower. I think your blog is really cute. Glad njoy linked to it :)
I don't have a little one, but one of my best friends has a baby boy who would look adorable in the green "are we there yet" shirt.
I'll put a post on my blog, KBrunsDisney
Just linked you on my blog too http://www.runfastmommy.com/2010/03/free-stuff-fun-things.html
I have 9 mnth twins who go on every run with me. I love the Triathlete in training tee!
And I am now a follower of your blog! :)
OH my goodness, those are ADORABLE! My 3 year old would totally rock the "running is the new soccer" shirt!
