We’re thrilled you’re here. We’re counting down to the launch of Run Like A Mother–March 23, if you need another entry on your calendar–but more importantly, we’re here to create a dynamic, supportive community of running mothers.
We know there are millions (or at least hundreds of thousands) of you out there: women who already run; who used to be runners but stopped when they had kids; who race yet wonder if training eats up too much family time; who need a gentle nudge to lace up. We’re here to entertain, encourage, and support runners of all levels, whether you want to vent about IT band issues, tout your first half-marathon finish, or ask for recommendations for the best sports bra for your DD ladies. We’ll toss in our own experiences on this blog too, of course, but all celebrations, whining, and questions from you are strongly encouraged.
That said, we’re writers and runners–and not IT wizards or even fluent in HTML. The only place for reader input so far on this blog is in the comment section–the link to comment is in the upper left corner–where you can agree with us (or blast us) on a post, ask a question, or otherwise contribute. As we grow, our goal is to create a more robust community, where you can find running partners and have forums to address crucial questions like, “Does your child throw a tantrum when you get dressed to run, too?” Option B, if the comment section doesn’t work for you: Contact us at runmother@gmail.com.
Likewise, this blog is a little like an arts + crafts project you see in magazine: We have the gist of it (yes, that sock puppet does look like a penguin) but it’s far from polished (since when do penguins have one wing and three feet?). Like the rest of our lives, it’s a work in progress.
I’m so fired up for you guys and looking forward to reading the book! You guys are an inspiration, you keep me laughing with your blogs and tweets and are a blast to work with.
Congrats on the book and the new site! My team’s name is Run Like A Mother. Can’t wait to read the book!
Really. This rocks!
This book looks so fantastic that it may convert me from a die-hard walker to a runner! What a fantastic name. May the sales roll in.
Congrats guys! This is very exciting and might even get me to don my running SNEAKERS again!!
Love the site and can’t wait to read the book because I RUN LIKE A MOTHER! I watched the video with my Hannah (4) next to me. And she is now walking around going “You run like a Mutha…” “ Can I run like a Mutha one day?”
Congrats!!! I love the site! Any chance you’ll be making a tour stop in the Springs? Of course I will be at the one in Denver, if not, but I thought I’d ask. I’m so excited for you guys!!!
WoooHooo! Congrats girls! you’ve made my day! So excited for you and your wonderful book!
Congrats!!! So inspiring! Can’t wait to read it! You are AWESOME!
Awesome! Love the vid, especially the last gal…This mother on the run can’t wait to read Run Like a Mother (and share it)
If anyone can get me to run again, it would be you two ladies. And some ibuprofen. Congrats on the new site, book, blog and bit.ly skillz. Can’t wait to try to keep up!
WoooHOOOO!!! Congratulations!! A month and counting to book drop!
HOOOORAY!
Congrats and best of luck with it! I am a running mom so will check back often!
Love the video! Makes me want to go for a run, hairy legs and all.
My rationale: nobody can see my leg hair anyway. Or so I tell myself. Thanks for reading.
I am proud to say “I run like a mother”. I can’t wait to read your book and to share it with all my mother running friends.
Congrats Dimity and Sarah! When is the book tour coming EAST???
SBS will be in CT, MA and RI in July at some point. We’ll add cities on tour as soon as they’re solidified.
Can’t wait to purchase 25 of your books. Proud father and husband of those that Run Like a Mother.
Great, great site. I love the banner/logo too. It is so perfect! I want a running shirt with that logo :)
Thanks everyone for your support and enthusiasm–we’re SO excited to launch this mother. (Special props to John for 25 copies!? Love it!). Molly: we do have shirts that have the logo, and we’re going to sell them on the tour. They’re just cotton tees, though, although technical may be the next order. We don’t have them up on web yet b/c not sure how/if we have time right now to do e-commerce, but we can certainly do special orders.
Again, thanks so much!
I’m spreading the word every chance I get!!! We running mommas so rock…
I can’t wait! See you in April. Off to preorder a book. :)
Congrats on the new site! Looking forward to the book!
Can’t wait! I’m so excited for you gals. :) Launching a book is such a rush – especially when the book is great like I know this one is!
Sarah and Dimity ~
This is so exciting! You two inspire me to line up to race again. It has been a long time.
