Avocado’s Third Trimester Running Update

Avocado’s Third Trimester Running Update

Avocado Posted by Avocado on June 4, 2018 Leave a comment

It’s been 32 weeks since I became a “party of two” runner, and those weeks have been about as up and down as your least favorite race course. As I come down the home stretch of this marathon, here’s a little update on my first experience running through pregnancy.

Running and the Stages of Motherhood

Running and the Stages of Motherhood

Angelica Posted by Angelica on May 21, 2018 1 Comment

I was a mother for five and a half years before I became a runner. I survived colic, various illnesses, one round of potty training, daycare, preschool and Kindergarten before I started running.

Avocado Posted by Avocado on January 22, 2018 3 Comments

Runners are creatures of habit. We run our same routes over and over, stick to our training styles and hate having our routines disrupted. But those routines can be upended by a few things: work, family schedules, illness, injury, pregnancy.
