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]
In the twitterverse, I’ve seen lots of fellow runners talk about Energy Bits. They sounded intriguing so when the company generously offered to send me a sample, I was pretty excited. I’ve made a huge effort in the past few years to cut down or eliminate my consumption of anything artificial or generally bad for [Read On]
Well, really it’s 3 boys if you count hubby . Last week was my first week on my own with both boys and we all survived. Lucky for me, Ezra is an easy baby so far (I’m probably jinxing myself by saying that) so as long as he’s fed and has a clean diaper, he [Read On]
I have an addiction to Nuun. I must have my lemon-lime Nuun with me for all long runs. The Baltimore Marathon taught me that I must also have it with me during long races. I had a serious craving for my Nuun during that marathon. After I crossed the finish line, getting myself some Nuun [Read On]
No, not Chi Running. Chia…as in ch-ch-ch-chia! But not quite the same as that. I had read little tidbits here and there about fitness and running folks eating chia seeds, but hadn’t thought to give them a try until a) I heard they are talked about as a superfood in the book Born to Run [Read On]
My first marathon – the Marine Corps Marathon – taught me a lot about what works for me and what doesn’t when I’m racing a long distance. Because I learned so much from that race, I thought I knew what to do better for the Baltimore Marathon. However, I learned quite a few more lessons [Read On]
I am officially in taper mode before the Baltimore Marathon so this week, I am bringing you something unrelated to running for my favorite things Friday post. I have a sweet treat for you that is – dare I say – a little bit healthy. Well, probably not healthy, but it has zucchini in it [Read On]
Happy Friday everyone! On this beautiful (almost) Fall Friday, I just have one favorite thing for you and it’s a reminder to stay hydrated. I know for me, when it’s not as hot out, I sometimes fall short of getting enough fluids in my body, especially when running. The very kind folks at Crystal Light [Read On]
This Friday, I just have one favorite thing for you – my favorite meal to eat the night before races and long runs. You probably know by now that the standard night before long run or race meal is usually pasta. I love pasta. We didn’t eat it very frequently in our house until I [Read On]
Tomorrow I’m supposed to run 18 miles. Eighteen miles and we’re expecting a hurricane to hit us. Fabulous. Since we don’t really know when the storm is supposed to arrive, I decided it was best to try to get my long run in today. I thought about swapping this week’s 18 miles with next week’s [Read On]
