Highly recommend this book to all my running friends, or those that have been wanting to start for awhile and aren't sure where to begin. I have been a loyal subscriber to Runner's World for years and years. And, I read about these two ladies in the magazine a few years ago when they trained for and ran the Nike Women's Marathon in California. They documented the good, the bad, and the ugly of training for a marathon while still being mom and wife. Anyone who has run a marathon knows exactly what I'm talking about. It can get a little batty. Fast forward to 2010 and they took their advice on everything from how to train your brain to conquer a run to what gadgets and gizmos are really worth the money. But, the best part is it is geared towards any mom/woman who enjoys being active, and you don't have to be running marathons to read it. I follow their blog as well, (on the right side of the blog - Run Like A Mother) and love it. Dimity is hilarious! A good mindless, summer read to enjoy while hanging by the pool. Although I haven't been running much this year, I am planning and scheming my next race to do when I'm feeling better. Somewhere pretty, and different than anything I've done before. May involve biking, maybe not. I just want to do something that tells myself "we are back on track", and I want to be surrounded by mountains, or an ocean. The wheels are turning.....
Mom of three super fun and super cool children (Caleb, Grace, Madeline) and wife to one super cool dude - Andrew. Just living life and trying to do the best we can to mold these little sprouts into who God designed them to be. And trying to be "IN" the moments with them rather than looking back and wishing we had spent more time together as a family. And...to be content. Content with where I am in life as a wife and mom. Content with the circumstances God brings into our lives. Life moves by at warp speed, and I want to be present for it. (Jer. 29:11)
