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]
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]
That’s right, folks. It is on starting December 1st so get ready! The challenge is basically the same for those of you that participated last year; the only exception is that there is no registration this year. Since I want to make it easy for anyone to participate whether they join the challenge in December [Read On]
I’m pregnant! Just kidding, you already knew that. But holy moly, less than 2 months until my due date. Where has the time gone? I’d like to say my good news is that my ankle is all better, but that’s not quite it either. It has improved significantly, but it’s not 100% yet. Working with [Read On]
Today will be day 24 of my running streak. It’s hard to believe it’s more than halfway over. I’ve really enjoyed the extra motivation to get in at least a mile everyday since I started. Thankfully, I’ve remained injury-free. If I do feel like my body needs a break, I just make it a very [Read On]
Run streaking that is. I’ve never done a running streak before. Being the injury prone runner that I am, I’ve always shied away from anything that will eliminate the rest days that my legs seem to require. Runner’s World hosted a running streak challenge in December, but unfortunately, I didn’t hear about it until it [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]
On May 6, 2012, I’ll be running 6th half marathon – the Maryland Half Marathon. The MD half is important to me personally for several reasons. First, it was my first long distance race since my first marathon in 2006. Second, the starting line is within walking distance to my house – can’t beat that [Read On]
If you do, you better finish finish up your 100 miles for the Winter 100 Challenge if you haven’t done so already! The Winter 100 Challenge will end on 2/29, but the fun will just be beginning for the lucky winner of the Garmin Forerunner 210. I have an insane love for my Garmin Forerunner [Read On]
The first month of the Winter 100 Challenge is nearly over and I want to check in with all of my participants to see how everyone is doing. I am in unknown territory. In the past, if I ran during the winter, it was sporadic and only short distances. This year, I’m running consistently (usually [Read On]
