Tales and Tips from a Running Mom
Do you have a goal you want to accomplish this year? I do. I’m working on a campaign with FitFluential and Under Armour to help redefine What’s Beautiful. My goal is to get my body back into better running shape. After having Ezra in December, I worked my butt off to get back into shape [Read On]

In the middle of last week, I started having pain in my shoulder and upper back on my right side. I was in a car accident 6 years ago and I still have pain in my neck/shoulder/back on that side from time to time. It’s made worse by lugging around the infant car seat and [Read On]
