A journey through motherhood, running, and life.
Holy Moly. I have one week left until I am in the 3rd trimester – the home stretch!! Overall, I feel great. There are definitely those days where I really feel like I’m pregnant, but for the most part, I am able to do most things I was doing prior to pregnancy. Running – Running [...]
I am amazed at how packed our weekends seem to get in the blink of an eye! I have all these little jobs around the house for my husband to do (that I can’t do b/c I’m a) not handy and/or b) are almost 6 months pregnant) on the weekends, but lately our weekends have [...]
I started off the busy weekend bright and early in NYC with 6,000+ other females running the NYRR Mini 10k in Central Park. It was a humid, muggy morning and I was thankful that it stayed overcast for the race otherwise it would have been uncomfortable. I had no expectations going into this race. Not wearing [...]
Happy Hump Bump Day! My life has been a whirlwind since my last update THREE weeks ago! We are finally all moved into our new/first home. By “all moved in” I mean that everything we own is under one roof – but we still have a long way to go before we are completely settled. Thankfully, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Happy Hump Day!!! I’ve been asked a lot recently to do an update on my pregnancy…I don’t want my whole blog to be focused on my pregnancy, so I have decided to update you on my bump on hump day every other week! =) I just started my 18th week of pregnancy!?!? I don’t know [...]
I spent Friday and Saturday at the More Fitness Half Expo in NYC - helping a friend run her Sparkly Soul Booth! It was SO much fun. Not only did I get the chance to meet tons of awesome ladies running the female-only race (held yesterday) and help sell a product I love and 100% endorse, [...]
My husband and I are not finding out the sex of baby #2. We waited with our first child and felt that it made the experience exciting and special. I am not going to try to convince anyone that you should wait…I think it is a personal decision and from what I’ve experienced, most females [...]
My weekend in Galveston, TX was a whirlwind. I’ve been a spectator at many races before, but I had yet to experience it as official media. (Tomorrow’s post will cover the IM race) As I mentioned in a post last week, I was recently contacted by representatives from the REFUEL | “got chocolate milk?™ campaign to come to [...]
In case you missed it, Part 1 can be found here and Part 2 can be found here. By the end of the 2nd trimester, I was averaging between 30-40 mi/wk while running anywhere from 4-10 mi/day. My “easy” pace had begun to slow down – instead of an 8:30 pace, most runs were now around 9:00 min/mile. I [...]
