I am running for every mom, as a mom, who has had to see their baby endure chemo. I am running for every mom, as a mom, who has had to wear a paper hospital gown just to touch their baby. I am running for every mom, as a mom, who did not get to bring their baby home. I run in memory of my youngest son and cherish everyday with my oldest one. Join me in my adventures through motherhood, family life, and the challenges of being a 30-something athlete.

Water Running
As I start training for my triathlon, I have to hit the pool more. So far I have dedicated one of my weekly workouts purely to swimming. Personally, I hate swimming...I love the workout it gives and the cardio endurance you get from it. But unlike running or biking, you can't just zone out while you work out....you'll drown. Trust me, several of my YMCA comrades have had to hear me cough and gag as I remember this fact. So today as I was swimming laps, I decided to strap on a water belt so I could just focus on my arms. Then I flashed back to high school days and remembered running in the pool. So I tried it. Loved it. And now I think I will add it in to my weekly pool routines. Check out the link below....
