“American Idol” season 10 runner-up Lauren Alaina is ready to get fit after the birth of her daughter, Beni Doll, in June.
The country singer took to Instagram to share with fans that she’s currently training to run a 10k. “10k training at 10 weeks post partum!!! I need y’all to keep [me] accountable, okay??? 👀,” Alaina captioned her post.
“I figured you’d like to follow along on my journey, see if I actually do it,” Alaina said in her video. She explained that her sister-in-law asked if she wanted to do the 10k with her, and she accepted the challenge. She told fans that she was using an app to help her begin training.
“The baby’s taking a nap, mom’s gonna hang out on the bus with her, and I’m gonna do a little ‘me time,'” Alaina shared before her run, adding, “I wish my ‘me time’ was like getting a massage, but instead I’m gonna go run.”
Lauren Alaina Is Persevering Despite Setbacks
As Alaina filmed herself doing her daily training, she was interrupted by her mom calling because baby Beni Doll wouldn’t nap, so Alaina took a break to go feed her.
Five hours later, Alaina set back out to continue her run for the day, which consisted of six 90-second runs and then a cool-down period of walking. “The first run is usually pretty easy, then after that it’s like ‘help!'” Alaina explained.
The “All My Exes” singer successfully completed her training for the day with a smile on her face. “Let’s go see that baby” she said when she was done.
Alaina Is Balancing Motherhood With Touring
Alaina is currently touring, and she brought her daughter along with her. “Beni’s coming out on the road and her grandmothers are coming with me,” Alaina revealed in an Instagram post on August 26.
The decision to bring her baby with her stemmed from the fact that she simply couldn’t stand to be away from Beni for too long.
“I’m getting ready to go back out on the road and honestly, not really sure how to feel about it,” Alaina explained. “I mean, I love what I do so I’m excited to, but scared to. Being away from [Beni] for 90 minutes sounds like the most impossible thing I’ve ever heard of.”
So far, things seem to be going smoothly, as Alaina is able to handle playing shows, working out, and taking care of her little one while out on the road.
