Tales and Tips from a Running Mom
On Sunday, April 14, I ran the NYRR More Magazine/Fitness Magazine Half Marathon in Central Park – my first post-baby #2 race at almost 4 months postpartum. I knew I was in for a tough race because of the fact I’d only run 3 times in the 2 weeks prior to the race because of [Read On]
On Saturday, hubby and 2 of his cousins ran the Warrior Dash in southern Maryland. This was my third weekend in a row of being a race spectator; I didn’t mind sitting this race out since it meant not getting muddy. It took us about an hour and a half to get to the race [Read On]
This is not a race recap. It’s a spectator recap. I decided to be smart and not run the race given my foot pain. I’m 99% sure that what I have is peroneal tendonitis. The peroneal tendons run from the bottom of the outer foot up behind the ankle bone. My pain started in my [Read On]
On Sunday morning, I ran my first ever 10K. For some reason, I am drawn to the longer races – marathons and half marathons. I have been neglecting the shorter ones. I’ve only run a handful of 5Ks and never a 10K. I was pretty stoked for an automatic PR, but I also had another [Read On]
On Sunday, hubby and I ran the Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run in Washington, DC. I had no goals going into this race. I knew I could try to push my pace and “race,” but I didn’t want to. I wanted to run alongside my husband and enjoy the scenery in beautiful downtown DC. I [Read On]
Big mistake number 1 happened before the race even started. Upon arriving in DC on Saturday morning, I realized I forgot something. I knew I would forget something that I needed to bring with me. Of course, I had to forget something I really needed: my KT Tape for my knee. I started to panic [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]
I mentioned in a previous post that we were getting a bike seat so that we can take Zain with us when we go for a ride. We’re not avid cyclists by any means. We just like to go for casual bike rides from time to time. We haven’t been able to go on any [Read On]
Sunday, June 5, 2011, I ran the ZOOMA Half Marathon in Annapolis, MD. It was my third half marathon and I had high hopes of setting a new PR. The race was only 3 weeks after the MD Half Marathon so I was feeling well-prepared for the distance. However, I did not feel all that [Read On]
On Sunday, May 15th, I ran the Maryland Half Marathon with my husband. It was his first half marathon and my second. My first half marathon was 4.5 years ago so it was practically my first all over again. We were very fortunate not to have the stress of waking up super early, driving somewhere [Read On]
