Working It Out

2009-11-20T16:01:42-05:00

Sometimes I take Sam to the daycare at my gym, and sometimes while he’s in there, I sit in the lobby and work on my laptop. I’m still figuring out the balance of work and being mom, getting in runs...

Building Blocks

2009-11-13T16:47:18-05:00

Earlier this week, Sam and I sat on the floor and played with wooden blocks. As he knocked down every block "structure" I put together, and occasionally chucked a block right at my head (which he...

Thank You, New York

2009-11-07T16:29:06-05:00

Two years ago, I was four months pregnant and covering the women’s race of the ING New York City Marathon. Paula Radcliffe, who’d had her first baby just ten months prior in 2007, won the race and...

Snow Day

2009-10-30T13:49:53-04:00

We got an early winter snow here in Boulder this week, with over two feet of the white fluffy stuff dumping around our house. Schools were closed, which meant that Sam’s daycare was closed, too. Snow...

All Dressed Up

2009-10-23T16:10:42-04:00

The Nike Women’s Marathon happened last weekend, and I was there in San Francisco for a Nike event. What did I do during the race? Since I’m still dealing with this injury (and very sorry to report...

From Morocco to Motherhood

2009-10-14T13:20:25-04:00

Eleven years ago this week, I was face down on a red dirt trail in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains. I’d been throwing up for about 30 hours, had both feet and ankles taped from acute tendinitis, and was...

Warning: Do Not Bake

2009-10-08T16:26:33-04:00

It’s not that I have the extra time, but I volunteered to bake cookies for a teacher in-service day at Sam’s daycare. So in an attempt to both win over my child’s part-time keepers and thank them for...

Learning a New Language

2009-10-02T16:27:45-04:00

Sam is learning a lot these days, and mimicking us often. I’ve been doing squats in the backyard as part of my physical therapy, and he looks at me, smiles, and squats when I squat. Stands when I...

Prêt-à-Porter

2009-09-25T15:02:25-04:00

There's this phrase, and a 1994 movie: "Prêt-à-Porter", which apparently (I don’t speak French) means “Ready to Wear." I’ve been thinking a lot about this little phrase lately as I get dressed in the...

Young and Old

2009-09-19T15:31:47-04:00

This morning I found myself dancing around the kitchen in attempt to entertain Sam. My moves were part hula, part early-90s aerobics class, part Snoopy. Occasionally, I’d break into the Running Man...
