Because it takes strong women to smash the patriarchy. Learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. April 29, 2015. In Heart and Mind. But it’s occurred to me that there’s one big thing I’ve done that I’ve never seen mentioned in any of those “how to get faster” lists, and that’s making the conscious decision to embrace discomfort. I’m not the only one who has made this realization. For instance, here’s an article by Charlotte Hilton Andersen. That talks about this very concept:. The entire artic...

At any rate, I figured it was high time to update my little running-while-pregnant mileage chart, now that I completed my final race of this pregnancy (TSFM’s 5k), and because this pregnancy could conclude any day now.

For a long time, pretty much right after I finished my first marathon, the ultra distance–anything beyond the standard marathon–has intrigued me. You name it, I’ve read it, books or online stuff by acclaimed ultra (and usually, trail) runners, like Scott Jurek. Why would I ever want to run a step more than 26.2? Just wasn’t in the cards for me...

Race recaps (these are all really old! Racing history & PRs and such. Category Archives: running while pregnant. 2015: a look back. December 17, 2015. New years is one of my favorite times of the year — it’s in my top 3! 8212; in no small part because it makes me purposefully take stock of what has happened in my life. Obviously, I can (and should) do this all year round, but I think there’s sometimes some sort of calendar magic that comes with some year-end reflection. On how childbirth can be considere...

Race recaps (these are all really old! Racing history & PRs and such. Bowing out of pacing at the Santa Rosa Marathon. August 15, 2016. California says hai (Rancho San Antonio). Remember how I was supposed to run TSFM a couple weeks ago but decided not to, thanks to a horrendous bout of stomach flu (or something thereabouts) 48 hours pre-race? So close post-stomach catastrophe would be unwise. I mean, I could. That’d just be dumb. I’m (usually) not dumb. To good health and good times and go team USA!

And d) I’m just shy of 8 months pregnant, so to even be able — and wanting — and willing to run 13.1 for the hell of it was just … cool.

Queen-waving to Linh. PC: him/RA. Be okay with that.
