S/O Running Mama's

Do any of the running Mama's have a goal? How far do you want to run? Are you planning to participate in any events?

Would anyone be interested in a weekly check in/support for running mamas? Kind of like a way to hold ourselves responsible? And maybe even encourage some others to try out running as well?

  • Cool, I'll start a weekly check in.

    Before baby I had run a 1/2 marathon and was training for a marathon. Unfortunately, I got bursitis in my hip and once I got that under control I was pregnant and due right around the date of my marathon. So, now my goal is to run my first marathon on October 20th. This coming weekend I have my first PP race a 5k.

    I've been running since high school and know a fair bit about running nutrition, and training.

  • Alas, I was a big runner before I got pregnant but an SI joint issue I had before is now worse after pregnancy. I'm hoping it'll clear up after I stop bfing and all the relaxin is out of me

  • I ran a half marathon with DH when I was 11 weeks pregnant with DS2 in March '12. Running was my big tool for losing the baby weight from DS1 lost 82 lbs. Before I got pregnant with DS2, DH and I raced monthly anywhere from 5Ks to 15Ks. We started doing 5Ks again this past December when DS2 was 2.5 months old. We did a 10K in February, and have another in June. Next half marathon is early November, so we really need to start training! We aren't running nearly enough since DH works so much and that really only leaves weekends to do it. I'm not quite strong enough to push both boys in the stroller for long distances, but I an working out daily at least.

    But yeah, a check in would be great!

    I'd be interested. I don't run as much as I use to. I'd like to get back into it. Right now, I just run on the treadmill at the gym 1-3x a week, but I like terrain running much better.

    I do the Crescent City Classic 10K in New Orleans every Spring. This year, DH and I are also doing the Color Run in November.

    This is my goal!! Are your from New Orleans?
