Tales and Tips from a Running Mom
I always enjoy body after baby posts on other blogs so I wanted to share my story, complete with embarrassing photos… My experience with getting back in shape after having Ezra has been drastically different from after I had Zain. There are a few reasons why: When I was pregnant with Zain, I gained about [Read On]
On Tuesday, as I was huffing and puffing through the first 2 miles of my 6 mile stroller run, a thought kept running through my mind – I really wish I didn’t care so much about my pace. My comfortable pace is a 10 minute mile, but I don’t want to run a 10 minute [Read On]
When I ran my first marathon I was 22. I had just graduated from college, started my first real job and began my first semester of graduate school. I was a different person than I am today. In a lot of ways, I think I’m a not only a stronger runner today, but also a [Read On]
My first exposure to a marathon was years before I ran my first. My high school field hockey team volunteered to work the water stop at the Baltimore Marathon.

Although I’ve had some close calls. I have had my share of runs where I feel like I’m struggling with every step and I contemplate giving up literally every 5 seconds or so. I never let myself stop though. I know if I stop, I’ll regret it later. On days like that, I give myself [Read On]
I can’t wait to log some miles in these beautiful cities. I did my 12 mile run this morning so that I won’t have to worry about running tomorrow when we arrive and I will no doubt be jet-lagged. Then on Tuesday, I will head out for my first run in Paris. Paris is my [Read On]
By now you know that I am not a fast runner. I want to be faster, but I honestly just don’t think I’m meant to be fast. I’m content trotting along at my 10 minute per mile pace. I have no intention of ever trying to win a race, I just want to finish! During [Read On]
