Tales and Tips from a Running Mom
I’ve gotten a lot of e-mails from readers who have found my blog by searching for different running injuries. Those emails prompted me to dig through the search terms to see how people were finding my blog. I think the number of people finding me by searching for jogging stroller recommendations was equal to the [Read On]
Before I even got back into running, my knee had been feeling kind of achy. Sure, the added weight during my pregnancy didn’t help, but it was still hurting in the 6 weeks following giving birth where I had less extra weight on my body and was still not running. It was hurting in the [Read On]
First of all, I hope everyone made it through the storm okay! We got lucky and never lost our power.

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]
I’m no stranger to running injuries. I dealt with some weird ones while I trained for the Marine Corps Marathon. I say “weird” because my doctor couldn’t really put a name to my injury. Basically, I had really terrible arch pain when I ran and in the end, I needed more arch support in my [Read On]
