Follow This Mother!
[We had a minor glitch in our email updates yesterday morning, and two posts were sent simultaneously. If you haven't had a chance to check out our Hump Day Giveaway—a pair of sweet 110% Juggler Knickers—please do so before you read about the amazing Jessica. Thanks!]
Jessica Morrison, 35, has been training for this weekend’s Hyannis Half Marathon. This BAMR of two boys—James, 4, and Collin, 2—has a full race schedule for ’13, including three other half-marathons and maybe, just maybe, 26.2. She lives with her husband, Clarke, and their boys in Falmouth, MA, home of ZOOMA Cape Cod (she’s looking forward to that race slated for September)…
Hump Day Giveaway: 110% Juggler Knickers
Too many garments are swimming in pockets. That tiny pocket in your jeans is just a place for lint and can’t-get-it-out dime to live forever. And those 12 pockets in your winter jacket that force you to dig for hours for your keys? The only upside to those is when you find a forgotten $20 tucked away. Score!
The designers at 110%, on the other hand, don’t overpocket. Every pocket on a 110% compression garment serves a purpose: to hold ice packs, which are included with purchase. The set-up is just genius: not only does the gradient compression send oxygen-rich, healing blood to your overworked muscles, but the ice, placed in areas you need it most, helps stave off aches and pains and quiets your sorest spots…
Tell Me Tuesday: How To Party with Another Mother Runner
You may have seen the pics on our Facebook page of the 10 house parties—a bunch of our tribe getting together for drinks, nibbles, laughs, motivation, race stories, great giveaways and amazing swag bags—we co-hosted in 2012. The shindigs were so much fun that we’re ramping up for round II in 2013, and we’d love for you to join us. We promise, they’re a blast even if you come solo…after all, you already have miles of potential conversation with other guests.
The parties are usually on a weeknight, start around 7, and end by 9:30, which means you’ll be in bed by 10. Which means it’s a late night for me, Dimity…
A Runner Finds Herself—and Her Health
This email landed in our inbox this weekend, and we couldn’t not share. (And I couldn’t not write a worser constructed sentence.)
Anyway, reading the entry made me think of Magaret Meade’s insightful quote: Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
Tweak it in an AMR way to get something like this: Never doubt that a small, thoughtful shift in perspective can’t change your world. Indeed, it’s the only way to start, as the writer below proves.
“Minnie White” has been a regular poster on our Facebook page, sharing her sticker charts and making slow and steady progress through the Half-Marathon: Finish It Plan…
The One Where They’re Both Injured
The unthinkable—but the inevitable—has happened: Dimity and Sarah are injured at the same time. The mother runners talk about what’s causing them pain and keeping them awake at night, then they divulge the treatment alternatives they’re pursuing. Based on personal experience, they share the importance of listening to your gut and finding a trusted practitioner (giving rise to a new category in our AMR Connect forums). But first Dimity tells about making a treacly kid-toffee that even her 9-year-old daughter dubbed, “too rich,” and the gals discover the correct pronunciation of, “nonpareil…
