Race report: First Half Marathon of 2013.
Once I remembered that I was no longer nursing, I ate an entire bottle of Cold FX last week in hopes of staving off Ama’s cold/flu. It did the job. Until of course, last night, the night before my first big race of 2013. Poop. I woke up this morning with a foggy and congestedContinue reading “Race report: First Half Marathon of 2013.”
Home School?
Ama has been sick for two days now. Cuddle and do nothing all day sick. Like having a really heavy newborn sick. Fever toeing the line of an ER visit sick. I know, it’s going around. Being trapped under my mammoth super baby with one armed access to a laptop has awarded me some timeContinue reading “Home School?”
My new dietary (life) approach
My husband has started a blog about my foray into a plant-based diet and how it has affected him. It’s a funny outlook from someone who has been raised to feel that meat is the ultimate food. With my new dietary outlook, he has also taken an interest in different nutrition plans. He came homeContinue reading “My new dietary (life) approach”
Sense of Self
I admit it. Sometimes I feel guilty. Amelita is in swimming lessons. She does ballet. We paint and read and do puzzles together at home… most days. I have friends that cart their baby/toddler/child from activity to activity. A seemingly endless stream of fun and learning. I am not that mom. And Ama is notContinue reading “Sense of Self”
Women’s running in Canada
Krista Duchene is in many ways your typical busy mom of 3. Typical, in that she does all the stuff someone with a 6, 4 and 1 year-old typically does. Untypical, because she is also at the top of the Canadian marathon scene. While most of us struggle to get dinner on the table, keepContinue reading “Women’s running in Canada”
Crossfit Moms
I tried the stroller class thing. The session was mostly walking or walking intensity effort with exercises woven in. I tried the stroller bootcamp thing. Better, but as Goldie Locks, I would have hit my second too small chair. As a runner, I am certainly not the epitome of well rounded fitness but do likeContinue reading “Crossfit Moms”
Chicked, chicking, chick.
This morning, I toed up toward the line of the 5k Resolution Run, leaving one row of runners between me and the start line. One row of male runners. As I judged whether I should press into the very front, I got some “don’t be getting in the way now” glances. Every runner knows thisContinue reading “Chicked, chicking, chick.”

Baby Doping
I for one can testify that women, OK I, possess inhuman strength postnatally. I ended up gaining 35 pounds and ending my pregnancy putting shame to the term “runner” with my best waddley rendition of what I thought running looked like. I stopped at every port potty, gas station and tree to relieve my achingContinue reading “Baby Doping”
