Tales and Tips from a Running Mom
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]
For Easter, I made one of my favorite desserts that I get in Paris – les tartes aux fruit (fruit tarts, in case you can’t figure that out). My tarts are pretty flippin’ awesome, I must say. The crust is sweet and crunchy. The crème pâtissière is like heaven. And the fruit makes you feel a [Read On]
When hubby and I ran the Baltimore Marathon in October, we ran for Team Fight for The Ulman Cancer Fund. It was a great experience and we were thrilled to raise money for their organization.

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]

Fortunately, I haven’t let that little issue get in the way of my marathon training and I’ve pushed through even when I didn’t feel like running. My perseverance [Read On]
To say this weekend was busy is a bit of an understatement. We had plans the entire weekend, but we had a great time doing everything we did! Saturday morning, my alarm was set to go off at 5am so I could go on my long run. Without fail, Z has a horrible night of [Read On]
