A journey through motherhood, running, and life.
Hey friends! I know I’ve been MIA the last week – with my blog, Facebook, Twitter…basically all forms of social media! Everything is great here – just super super busy. Since late last week, I have spent ~12 hours / day at our new house – cleaning, unpacking, watering the newly laid sod (seriously [...]
I’m excited and honored to announce that I am featured on Women’s Running today as their Blogger on the Run. I’ve been a fan of Women’s Running for a long time and am loving their new blog and especially their 50 days of giveaways. Today is Day 23 - readers who comment on today’s post [...]
If you are a regular reader of my blog then you probably know what a HUGE Saucony fan I am. Love their clothes. Love their gear. Love their shoes. I have some lofty goals, post-baby, this fall that include running a qualifying 10k time so I can apply to be a member of the [...]
Lots of updates from the weekend!! I was notified by the alumni association from my elementary school alma mater, St Christopher’s, a couple of months ago with the news that I was selected to receive the 2012 St. Christopher Founders Award (along with other honorees). The dinner and ceremony were amazing – there were SO [...]
One of the questions I’m asked most frequently these days is if my second pregnancy is any different from the first. They could NOT be any MORE different! Although I feel and look different this time around, the major change is my overall outlook on my pregnancy. Breaking the news to my husband and family. [...]
I received an email yesterday from one of the editors at BlogHer informing me that they loved one of my recent posts and were planning on spotlighting me and the post on the BlogHer homepage and the BlogHer Moms tab! It’s a post I really enjoyed writing…but especially enjoyed reading all of the amazing and [...]
Happy Hump Bump Day! Well another two weeks have come and gone…I am now in my 22nd week of pregnancy. I have my fetal anatomy ultrasound later today…despite being able to feel the baby kick and move pretty frequently these days, I always get nervous in the hours leading up to an appointment. Did/does anyone else experience [...]
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommies and soon-t0-be-mommies out there! Hope you all had a wonderful day spent with family and lots of good food! I had planned on a long run early yesterday morning but after my son woke up (for the day) at 4:15am and my belly not feeling “right”, I decided [...]
Last summer, I applied for the Foot Locker 5 Borough Challenge (FL5BC). I didn’t think I would be selected so figured there was no harm in applying – I did it on a whim without even telling my husband or family members…A few weeks later, I found out that I made it through the first round [...]
I’ve been looking forward to FitBlogNYC for over a month now – it was going to be my first “real” blogger/tweet-up event and I knew there would be oodles of twitter and FitFluential friends that I would FINALLY get to meet. It did not disappoint. A few highlights of the day: – Got to catch [...]
I had another post planned for today, but after I received an email from a reader yesterday (that I have not been able to get out of my head), I felt this issue needed to be addressed and discussed. Below is a quick synopsis of the email I received(I want to keep her anonymous): Reader X [...]
Spoiler alert…this post is NOT about running 26.2 miles all at once when you are pregnant! I’m a believer in the everything in moderation thinking during pregnancy, so I will likely never run a marathon when I am expecting. This past weekend, I ran the 26.2 miles over the course of 3 days. Yes, I know I [...]
Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway! I contacted Erica to select the winner using randomnumber.org – since there were several of my family and friends who entered the giveaway, I wanted a third-party to select the winner!! You have one week to contact me at nycrunningmama@gmail.com before another winner is chosen!! If you [...]
Happy Hump Bump Day! Today marks the start of Week 20 of pregnancy – I’m already halfway through with this pregnancy (assuming Pumpkin decides to make a punctual appearance)! The last two weeks have seen their share of good and bad days. The good days have been amazing – no aches or pains and lots [...]
I had planned on publishing a different post today, but after last night’s experience, I felt the need to vent. My sister, my (almost) 16 month old son, and I went out for a very early dinner to our local diner. It’s not as easy as it once was to take him out to [...]
