Tales and Tips from a Running Mom
Disclaimer: if you’ve had any kind of injury or other health problem that has kept you from running for 6-8 weeks or longer, I’m sorry that I’m being a whiny brat about a 1 week break from running. First of all, I have to say – do as I say, not as I do. I [Read On]
I had the best day today. I started my day off with a 10 mile run with Zain in the stroller. It was in the mid-50s and gorgeous in the morning. I could have done without the crazy wind we had, but Zain and I both really enjoyed the sunshine. After our run, we went [Read On]
I LOVE my Go Sport ID. I love it so much that for Christmas I wanted to spread the Go Sport ID love. I gave gift cards for Go Sport ID to 4 family members so they could create their own custom IDs. I also gave my hubby his very own Go Sport ID. On [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]

It’s that time of the week again! Happy Friday everyone! This week, I’m going to share with you some of my favorite running apparel. I have enough of a supply of running clothes to write close to 2,701,384 posts . One of my favorite running shirts is this Brooks Run shirt (and look, it’s on [Read On]
A whole lot of rain. The past 2 days, we’ve gotten buckets of rain and some lovely thunderstorms (that have sent my poor dog into a perpetually panicked state). I don’t mind running in the rain; in fact, I like it, but I can’t do it with Zain in the stroller. Yesterday, I had planned [Read On]
My training for the Baltimore Marathon is in full swing and this weekend, I had to run a scary amount of miles. Something about the hearing myself say I needed to run 18 miles really freaked me out. I have run that far before; I’ve run farther – BUT that was 5 years ago! The [Read On]
