The day you’ve all been waiting for (and running lots of miles for) is here! I’m simply amazed by how many people participated in this challenge again this year. It’s so wonderful to see how each and every one of you has stayed motivated and stuck to your running goals this winter. Thank you to [Read On]

I don’t know about you, but the past 3 months have flown by for me. Maybe the whole having a baby and living in a sleep deprived state makes time go by quicker or something. I’ve already received lots of mileage logs and I’m looking forward to seeing more as the day goes on. It [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]
Mama, I wanna run

One of Zain’s favorite activities since he could walk was to run in circles around our kitchen island. He likes for us to run with him and he’ll come up to me and say “Mama, I wanna run! Come on, mama!” It’s really the most adorable thing and it’s impossible to say no to his [Read On]
Challenged by my own challenge

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]

Do you have your cold running gear ready? At least you lucky folks out there running through the winter will warm up as you get moving. Walking in the wintertime pretty much sucks – walking doesn’t generate enough body heat! If you haven’t committed to the challenge yet, you still can! In case you aren’t [Read On]
Ready to race!

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]

I have good news!

I’m pregnant! Just kidding, you already knew that. But holy moly, less than 2 months until my due date. Where has the time gone? I’d like to say my good news is that my ankle is all better, but that’s not quite it either. It has improved significantly, but it’s not 100% yet. Working with [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]
