You may know these as “sprinkle chips” or if you’re British, “Hundreds and Thousands.” (There must be a story behind that one.)
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.”

I can relate to the injuries…My motherly instincts should’ve kicked in when I noted how perfect the scene was. Running on the treadmill for my longest post partum run, my 7 year old dressed up in a doctor’s outfit “tending” to the 7 week old sitting contentedly in his baby papasan (wish they had those for grown ups post run!). After a quick glance over in their adorable direction, the next thing I knew I was crumbled at the foot of the treadmill and afraid to look down at my legs. With the treadmill still running, lucky I had someone around to turn it off for me. But after crying from disappointment at the run that never happened, the pain of my badly scraped legs, and the setback to my comeback, I realized how lucky I am. It could’ve been much worse – broken bones, scrapes on the face, scrapes that make it difficult to hold and feed my baby, or an injury like this days before a big race. Now I hate my treadmill more than ever and I can’t wait to conquer it, wearing my safety clip of course. Sometimes the setback of an injury makes reignites your fire!
Great podcast. I needed to hear that. I was just diagnosed with a hip stress fracture and labral tear. I think this can give me hope for my future as a Mother Runner.
Loved the podcast (as usual)! I’m sorry you’re both having to go through this, but so glad to hear you’re finding treatments that are helping. Sooo, Sarah – when is this birthday you have coming up?
OMG… Loved! You had me laughing out loud while drinking my am lifeline….coffee. I have to tell you how I managed to squeeze the podcast in. So I strapped on my running arm band & plugged in my buds. Why have I not thought of this until now???? Oh, I don’t know… Nothing like 4 kids & hubby & all that goes along w/ that to loose my brain cells. Sometimes I will turn your podcasts on on my computer & turn up the volume while folding laundry. Hello!!!! My new way is more freeing. Weeee… Now I can get caught up. I know, I know… I’m such a goofball. I felt I’ll to my stomach with the candy treat you made. Thank you for the am laughs. I hope you both get well soon. Sending you both tons of get well soon vibes from MD.
