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]
If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you probably already know this since I’ve been inundating my followers with pictures of my sweet little baby boy. Ezra decided to surprise us and come a little over 2 weeks early. He must have heard his big brother talking about Santa bringing him presents and wanted [Read On]
It’s almost baby time! I’m 37.5 weeks so just two and a half weeks until my due date. Although, since I’m full term, this little man is welcome to make his entrance anytime he wants now. We can’t wait! I’m delivering at a different hospital this time so we went for a tour of the [Read On]
Last year, the miles in my Winter 100 Challenge log filled up quickly so I didn’t really experience what a “challenge” it really was. Had I not been training for the Rock ‘n’ Roll USA Marathon, it definitely would have been more difficult because I wouldn’t have had that training calendar to keep me logging [Read On]
I’m going Turkey Trotting tomorrow. I’m obviously aiming to smash my 5K PR since I’m clearly in top running shape right now. Just kidding. I’m just hoping to not finish the race in last place. Our neighborhood is hosting an informal Turkey Trot 5K for the second year in a row. Last year, it was [Read On]

My ankle has definitely improved, but it’s not 100% [Read On]
There are a lot of things they never tell you about pregnancy, or the whole labor and delivery process (Kara‘s usually good about sharing those fun facts ), that can come as a surprise when you first experience them. One thing many people may not know is that laying on your back too long while [Read On]
After my appointment with the sports massage therapist a week and half ago, I was supposed to spend a week doing my strength exercises then go for a test run last Friday. Unfortunately, I was still feeling that nagging soreness in my ankle, right behind the inside of my ankle bone. I decided I should [Read On]
I might be the only runner capable of becoming injured while running so little. I think I can blame pregnancy for my most recent injury because apparently all the hormones not only serve to make me cry at the drop of a hat, they also work some magic on my tendons and ligaments. During pregnancy, [Read On]
While we were on vacation in Hawaii, one of the things I was really looking forward to was running in one of my favorite places in the world. The scenery could not be any prettier, the Hawaiian breeze is like a fan blowing on you while you run, and best of all – it’s flat. [Read On]
