The Motherhood- The Blog

In this month’s issue of Runner’s World (and on  RunnersWorld.com : “Fastinistas!” ), there is an article on fashion among female runners, and the various apparel companies that outfit them.   What struck us most wasn’t in the article – it was the comments.  We’ve excerpted a few of them below, along with the intro of the article,  which you can read in full here...

Here’s a brand new, delightful post by our very own guest blogger, Katie Key.  You’ve already met Katie  here on our blog, or perhaps on her blog, Katie Runs This.  Maybe you already follow her on Twitter – if not, you should!  Stay tuned for more from Katie right here, as she shares her pregnancy journey with us...

It isn’t everyday that we get to know someone like Carli (AKA One Fit Mom ), a 31 year old fitness enthusiast living in Vancouver and seriously challenging conventional pregnancy guidelines regarding physical activity.  Thank you, Carli, for sharing this post with us!  Read on for her inspiring story of some serious feats very late in pregnancy…

Today we have the honor of presenting one of our toughest mamas yet!  Beth is a social worker turned professional MMA fighter (that’s “mixed martial arts”, if you don’t know), and a soon-to-be new mom.  As a hardcore athlete who sweats and bleeds for a living, we are thrilled to have her perspective on pregnancy here on our blog.  We’re also thrilled to have her wearing our apparel!..

Today, we introduce Kim, an avid runner with big plans to keep running throughout her pregnancy. Twins and a potentially dangerous medical condition not only thwarted her running plans, but let to a complete exercise hiatus…

Today we are delighted to feature Katie, a runner, blogger, and  soon-to-be new mom!  She’s an engineer, so you know she’s got smarts.  An avid runner, she describes a 5K as her “gateway drug”.  Here’s her list of running essentials for those HOT summer months (did we mention she’s from Baton Rouge?) to keep you motivated!  As with all of our guest bloggers who are also happy For Two Fitness customers, Katie has not been compensated for her post, and all her opinions are her own.  (Thanks, Katie, for putting us on your list!)..

You’ve already met Dawn Weinberger, a runner, writer, and avid subscriber to the principles of Paleo nutrition. Today, she tells us about her decision to stop running for the rest of her pregnancy.  Can you relate?..

Today we have the honor of introducing Sara Haley, an international fitness expert. (You may have seen her recently with Brooklyn Decker in the Elle “Make Better” DVD series). As a new mom herself, Sara gives us her expert advice (and personal experience) on how to stay healthy, fit, and active during pregnancy...

Today, we introduce you to Kelly, a teacher and lover of sweet treats. Like many women, she struggled with weight. In 2007, she made a commitment to health and began working with a trainer. She lost weight, and began running, and even began racing! Then, not yet at her goal weight and just as she was registering for a half-marathon (you go!), she discovered she was pregnant. She found herself sick and lethargic for the first few months- we can relate! While her joy was growing, her fitness plans were turned upside down...

Today, we are honored to introduce Jen, an ultra-fit mom-to-be (who also happens to be a health writer). Jen shares how her pregnancy has impacted her previously very vigorous routine, and plans to check in with us for the rest of her pregnancy so we can hear more. We are looking forward to those updates, Jen!..

Today, we are pleased to introduce Alison Barkman, an accomplished marathoner and registered dietitian who shares her story about balancing her drive to run (far!), and her desire to have a baby...

Today, we are fortunate to introduce Dawn Weinberger, a runner, writer, and avid subscriber to the principles of Paleo nutrition. Currently halfway through her pregnancy, she’ll be a featured guest on our blog along the way. We are looking forward to her stories and thoughts, as well as your comments!..
