Tomorrow, my babies turn 8! It’s hard to believe that I’ve been a mother runner for 8 years.  At times it doesn’t seem that long ago that I was huffing and puffing, pushing my two cuties around in our double BOB stroller. Other times, it seems like eons ago.  How did they get so big […]

Coping with injury is never easy for runners. We really love what we do. When you have a running injury, once you figure out a rough plan of how long you will need off, the anxiety from being unable to run quickly begins to build. Which is exactly why I previously gave you the 12 […]

It was an ordinary early morning at the gym. I was doing a side lunge with a DB clean in front of the big mirrors at the gym.  As I watched my form, my eyes fixated on my legs and arms. Visible muscles popped out with every move. Damn.  I looked jacked! Was it the […]

FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE RACE Yes, I’m starting four days before the race because that is when I first started feeling sick. […]

“Just think, you could be running a flat 5k right now instead of this!” At least that’s what I thought she said.  It was hard to hear anything other than pounding of my heartbeat in my ears.  You gotta love spectators who can make you laugh when you are struggling up a 53% incline. Over […]
