Mom of the Month for April

Rachel McLure

Who are the members of your family?

Scott, Rachel, and Harper Sage McLure

What was/is your previous and/or current career?

I have my Master's Degree in Architecture, and I currently work in the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department for the City of Riverside.  I design and manage the construction of buildings within the parks.

How long have you been a Stroller Strides member and What has Stroller Strides done for you?

I started Stroller Strides in February of 2009 to meet friends and to lose the pregnancy weight.  I have already lost 6 pounds.  I look forward to Stroller Strides each day because it gets me up and going.   I enjoy being outdoors with my daughter .  The group motivation helps me to push myself harder than when I work out by myself.

What are some of your favorite things (besides Scott and Harper)?

I like shopping, going out with friends, going to the beach, and traveling.

Tell us something about you that would surprise us.

My mom's cousin is Cindy Crawford's step-father.

If we asked your husband what he thought your best qualities are, what would he say for personality? Physically?

I think he would say that I'm a great mom to our daughter; that I am a loving wife, and a hard worker. Physically, I think he would say he likes my eyes and my boobs. :)
