Tales and Tips from a Running Mom
First of all, here’s the important stuff: The winner of the Energy Bits sample pack is……Esteban! I hope you like the Energy Bits as much as I do! If you didn’t win this time around, don’t forget that there is another chance to win Energy Bits or one of the other awesome prizes in the [Read On]
On Saturday, hubby and 2 of his cousins ran the Warrior Dash in southern Maryland. This was my third weekend in a row of being a race spectator; I didn’t mind sitting this race out since it meant not getting muddy. It took us about an hour and a half to get to the race [Read On]
Saturday morning, I was all dressed and set to head out the door for my 15 mile run. While chatting with hubby, he suggested that maybe I could wait until Sunday for my long run and run with him. I knew 15 miles with the stroller would be tough, but our training schedules (he’s training [Read On]
This morning, I tackled my longest run before the Rock ‘N Roll USA Marathon – 22 miles. I’ve already done a 21 mile and a 20 mile run so 22 should be a piece of cake, right? Haha, I don’t think so. I was super excited about this run because it was with Team in [Read On]
Miles: 20 Gels: 3 Fluids: Nuun and water Entertainment: mostly music from Glee, that’s right – I love Glee! I had another 20 mile run on the schedule this weekend. My plan was to once again join the group I ran with last weekend. Zain ended up waking up a bajillion times on Friday night [Read On]
On Saturday, I was scheduled to run 20 miles. I knew if I tried to run 20 miles by myself, I would have a tough run. I would lose my focus and my motivation. I’ve been doing the majority of my long runs alone for the past year. Sometimes, I don’t mind. I enjoy the [Read On]
I once posted about the ridiculous lengths I went to for a run to avoid being stuck on the treadmill. Lately, I’ve found myself willing getting on the treadmill for a variety of reasons – weather that isn’t conducive to stroller running, weather that doesn’t sound appealing to run in because I’m a wimp, or [Read On]

Instead of my usual cup of coffee (more accurately my shot of espresso since that is my usual pre-long run source of energy) before my run this morning, I tried an energy shot (Street King from GNC) that a fellow running blogger recommended. It says it has the caffeine equivalent [Read On]
I have a lot of plans for 2012. I’m going to run my 3rd marathon, my 4th, 5th and 6th half marathons and a mud run. That’s all by the end of May. I haven’t decided what to do with the rest of my year yet. I have high hopes for my 3rd marathon and [Read On]
When it’s cold outside, it takes me a mile, sometimes a mile and half to feel comfortable with the chill in the air. I spend that first mile wondering if I dressed appropriately or if maybe I’d be better off going home and getting on the treadmill. I know that the treadmill is not a [Read On]
