This group welcomes all runners of different paces, but what sets the Turtles & Hares aside from other running groups is that the majority do not run faster than 9 minute miles, and many run 10-15 minute miles and slower.

After attending a few other mommy and me group meetups, I realized they were not a great fit.  We parent by instinct, practice co-sleeping, full term breastfeed, baby wear, avoid toxic products and plastic and eat a mostly whole, organic (when possible) unprocessed diet which are not mainstream and apparently these thi …
