So 2020 has been an absolute clusterf-k, a lot of bad things have happened that I won’t get into here, though some good things have also happened. For the purposes of this blog, I’d like to focus only on the positive.

Welcome to Mom on the Run


Hi, I’m a 40-something working mother with a running problem. I have three wonderful and VERY active daughters who are 13, 11 and 8. Because the girls play travel hockey and fast pitch they keep me VERY busy chauffeuring them to their sports. Coffee keeps me going until it's wine time. Running keeps me sane.

Took some time off for an injury, then struggled t Took some time off for an injury, then struggled to motivate myself to get back to running because I find injury set backs absolutely devastating. It’s time though to cut the crap & just start running again. This week’s goal is to run for a minimum of 30 minutes 4 times.

Definitely not my fastest nor my worst half marathon, but a fun way to kill a day! (Ps - I don’t advise eating a burrito mid “race”) 🤣🤣🤣

Post run & ab burnout glow. Not having to commute Post run & ab burnout glow. Not having to commute to work means I can start working earlier and end my workday earlier. On days like today when my anxiety wakes me up at 3:45am and I can’t get back to sleep I can start especially early! Hopefully getting back to running will help me manage my anxiety.
